诗篇 71
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
神是人自幼到老的倚靠
71 耶和華啊！我投靠你，
求你使我永不羞愧。
2 求你按著你的公義搭救我，救贖我；
求你留心聽我，拯救我。
3 求你作我避難的磐石，使我可以常來投靠；
你已經下令救我，
因為你是我的巖石、我的堅壘。
4 我的 神啊！求你救我脫離惡人的手，
脫離邪惡和殘暴的人的掌握，
5 因為你是我的盼望；
主耶和華啊！你是我自幼以來所倚靠的。
6 我自出母胎就倚賴你，
把我從母腹中領出來的就是你，
我要常常讚美你。
7 眾人都以我為怪，
但你是我堅固的避難所。
8 我要滿口讚美你，
我終日頌揚你的榮美。
9 我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我；
我氣力衰弱的時候，求你不要離棄我。
10 因為我的仇敵議論我；
那些窺探著要害我性命的，一同商議，
11 說：“ 神已經離棄了他，
你們追趕他，拿住他吧！
因為沒有人搭救他。”
12 神啊！求你不要遠離我；
我的 神啊！求你快來幫助我。
13 願那些控告我的，
都羞愧滅亡；
願那些謀求害我的，
都蒙羞受辱。
14 至於我，我要常常仰望你，
要多多讚美你。
15 我的口要述說你的公義，
終日講述你的救恩，
儘管我不知道它們的數量。
16 我要來述說主耶和華大能的事；
我要提說你獨有的公義。
17 神啊！我自幼以來，你就教導我；
直到現在，我還是宣揚你奇妙的作為。
18 神啊！到我年老髮白的時候，
求你仍不要離棄我，
等我把你的能力向下一代傳揚，
把你的大能向後世所有的人傳揚。
19 神啊！你的公義達到高天，
你曾經行過大事，
神啊！有誰像你呢？
20 你使我們經歷了很多苦難，
你必使我們再活過來，
你必把我們從地的深處救上來。
21 你必增加我的尊榮，
並轉過來安慰我。
22 我的 神啊！
我要彈琴稱讚你，稱讚你的信實；
以色列的聖者啊！
我要鼓瑟歌頌你。
23 我歌頌你的時候，我的嘴唇要歡呼；
我的靈魂，就是你所救贖的，也要歡呼。
24 我的舌頭也要終日講述你的公義，
因為那些謀求害我的人已經蒙羞受辱了。

Psalm 71[a]
Prayer of the Righteous in Old Age
1 In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
2 In your righteousness rescue me and deliver me;
hear my plea and save me.
3 Be to me a rock of refuge
to which I can always go;
proclaim the order to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 O my God, rescue me from the hands of the impious,
from the grasp of cruel and ruthless foes.
5 You, O Lord, are my hope,
my confidence, O God, from my youth.
6 I have relied upon you since birth,
and you have been my strength from my mother’s womb;
my praise rises unceasingly to you.[b]
7 I have become a portent to many,[c]
but you are my sure refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praises
as I relate your glory all day long.
9 Do not cast me off in my old age;
do not forsake me when my strength is completely spent.
10 For my enemies speak against me,
and those who seek my life plot together.
11 They say: “God has abandoned him;
go after him and seize him,
for no one will come to his rescue.”
12 O God, do not remain aloof from me;
come quickly to help me, O my God.
13 Let those who accuse me
be put to shame and perish;
let those who are determined to harm me
incur contempt and disgrace.[d]
14 But I will hope in you continually
and will render even more praise to you.
15 [e]My lips will proclaim your righteous deeds
and your salvation all day long,
though I do not know their extent.[f]
16 I will speak of your mighty deeds, O Lord God,
and declare your righteousness,[g] yours alone.
17 O God, you have taught me from my youth,
and to this day I proclaim your marvelous works.
18 Now that I am old and my hair is gray,[h]
do not abandon me, O God,
until I have extolled your might
to all the generations yet to come,
your strength 19 and your righteousness, O God,
to the highest heavens.
You have done great things;
O God, who is there who is like you?
20 You have shown me many afflictions and hardships,
but you will once again revive me.
From the depths of the earth[i]
you will once again raise me up.
21 You will restore my honor
and console me once again.
22 Then I will also praise[j] you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God.
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
23 When I sing to you, my lips will rejoice,
and so will my soul, which you have redeemed.
24 All day long my tongue
will relate your righteousness.
For those who intended to do me harm
will suffer shame and disgrace.
Footnotes
- Psalm 71:1 Accustomed to being exposed to malevolence, an aged person, probably a cantor in the service of the temple, casts a look backward. From his childhood, every day of his long life he has endeavored to remain faithful to the Lord and to live in union with him; he has made praise of God his life companion. Profoundly confident, he begs God to come to his aid, resolute in his will to praise him with all his might. This lament resembles the “confessions” of the prophet Jeremiah (Jer 17:14-18) and could have been later applied to Israel itself. We could regard it as primarily a prayer of fidelity in difficult moments of old age; it is a fine prayer for the evening of life.
This supplication is appropriate for Christians in their temporal and spiritual trials, and even more on the lips of the Church who is looked upon by her enemies as old, failing, and vulnerable to receive the finishing blow. - Psalm 71:6 My praise . . . to you: an alternative translation is: “my hope has always been in you.”
- Psalm 71:7 I have become a portent to many: more by his trials (see Ps 31:12; Deut 28:46; Isa 52:14) than by the benefits received from God, for people are surprised to see a righteous person suffering.
- Psalm 71:13 A prayer for the divine justice to be done (see notes on Pss 5:11; 35).
- Psalm 71:15 A vow to offer praise to God for his help (see note on Ps 7:18).
- Psalm 71:15 The psalmist does not know the full extent of God’s goodness toward him. For God’s acts of salvation, consisting of his mighty deeds (v. 16) and marvelous works (v. 17), are too numerous to count (see Pss 40:6; 139:17f).
- Psalm 71:16 Mighty deeds . . . righteousness: God’s “mighty deeds” on behalf of his people flow from his “righteousness”—and show forth that righteousness (see also v. 24). See also note on Ps 9:2.
- Psalm 71:18 Youth . . . old and . . . gray: this passage can be applied without difficulty to Israel to whom the Prophets apply images of youth (see Jer 2:2; Hos 2:15) and old age (see Isa 46:4; Hos 7:9; see also Ps 129:1f). Might: literally, “arm,” a prophetic image (see Isa 51:9; 53:1), used often with respect to the miracles of the Exodus. This passage (see Pss 22:31f; 78:5f; 102:19) shows how conscious the psalmists were of being bearers of tradition.
- Psalm 71:20 From the depths of the earth: the realm of the dead, which is entered by the grave (see note on Ps 30:2).
- Psalm 71:22 I will also praise: a vow to praise God for his help (see note on Ps 7:18). Holy One of Israel: a frequent expression of the Book of Isaiah but used infrequently in the Psalter (see Pss 78:41; 89:19).

Psalm 71
King James Version
71 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
