诗篇 74
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
祈求 神记念他的子民
亚萨的训诲诗。
74 神啊!你为甚么永远丢弃我们呢?
为甚么你的怒气向你草场上的羊群好象烟冒出呢?(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)
2 求你记念你在古时买赎的会众,
就是你赎回作你产业的民族;
求你记念你所居住的锡安山。
3 求你举步去看那些长久荒凉的地方,
去看仇敌在圣所里所行的一切恶事。
4 你的敌人在敬拜你的聚会中吼叫,
他们竖起了自己的旗帜为记号。
5 他们好象那些举起斧子,
在树林中砍伐树木的人。
6 圣殿中的一切雕刻,
他们都用斧子和铳子打碎了。
7 他们用火把你的圣所烧成焦土,
他们亵渎你名的居所。
8 他们心里说:“我们要把它们完全毁灭!”
他们烧毁了地上一切敬拜 神的聚会地方。
9 我们看不见我们的记号,
也不再有先知;
我们中间也没有人知道这灾祸要到几时。
10 神啊!敌人辱骂你要到几时呢?
仇敌亵慢你的名要到永远吗?
11 你为甚么把你的手,就是你的右手收回呢?
求你从怀中抽出来毁灭他们。
12 神自古以来就是我的君王,
在地上施行拯救。
13 你曾用你的大能分开大海,
把海中怪兽的头都打碎了。
14 你砸碎了利未亚坦(“利未亚坦”为原文音译词,或译:“海怪”〔伯3:8〕或“鳄鱼”〔伯41:1〕)的头,
把牠给住在旷野的人作食物。
15 你曾开辟泉源和溪流,
又使长流不息的江河干涸。
16 白昼是你的,黑夜也是你的,
月亮和太阳,都是你设立的。
17 地上的一切疆界都是你立定的,
夏天和冬天都是你制定的。
18 耶和华啊!仇敌辱骂你,
愚顽人亵渎你的名,
求你记念这事。
19 求你不要把你斑鸠的性命交给野兽,
不要永远忘记你困苦人的性命。
20 求你顾念所立的约,
因为地上黑暗的地方充满了强暴的居所。
21 不要使受欺压的人蒙羞回去,
要使困苦、贫穷的人赞美你的名。
22 神啊!求你起来,为你的案件辩护,
要记得愚顽人终日对你的辱骂。
23 求你不要忘记你敌人的声音,
不要忘记那些起来与你为敌的人不住加剧地喧闹。
詩篇 74
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
祈求上帝眷顧祂的子民
亞薩的訓誨詩。
74 上帝啊,
你為何永遠丟棄了我們?
你為何對自己草場上的羊大發雷霆?
2 求你眷顧你在古時所救贖的子民,
你揀選為產業的族類,
求你眷顧你所居住的錫安山。
3 求你前去觀看那久已荒涼之地,
看看敵人對聖所的破壞。
4 他們在你聖所中高聲叫嚷,
豎立起自己的旗幟。
5 他們大肆毀壞,
好像人掄起斧頭砍伐樹林。
6 他們用斧頭、錘子把雕刻的牆板都搗毀了。
7 他們縱火焚燒你的聖所,
把它夷為平地,
褻瀆了你的居所。
8 他們心裡說:「我們要徹底毀滅一切。」
於是他們燒毀了境內所有敬拜上帝的地方。
9 我們再也看不到你的徵兆,
先知也沒有了。
無人知道這一切何時才會結束。
10 上帝啊,
仇敵嘲笑你的名要到何時呢?
他們要永無休止地辱罵你嗎?
11 你為何不伸出大能的右手?
求你出手給他們致命的一擊。
12 上帝啊,
你自古以來就是我的王,
你給世上帶來拯救。
13 你曾用大能分開海水,
打碎水中巨獸的頭。
14 你曾打碎海怪的頭,
把牠丟給曠野的禽獸吃。
15 你曾開闢泉源和溪流,
也曾使滔滔河水枯乾。
16 白晝和黑夜都屬於你,
你設立了日月。
17 你劃定大地的疆界,
又創造了盛夏和寒冬。
18 耶和華啊,
求你記住敵人對你的嘲笑和愚妄人對你的褻瀆。
19 求你不要把你的子民交給仇敵[a],
不要永遠對你受苦的子民棄置不顧。
20 求你顧念你的應許,
因地上黑暗之處充滿了暴力。
21 求你不要讓受壓迫的人羞愧而去。
願貧窮困苦的人讚美你的名。
22 上帝啊,求你起來維護自己,
別忘記愚妄人怎樣整天嘲笑你。
23 不要對你仇敵的喧嚷置之不理,
與你為敵的人不停地叫囂。

Psalm 74
Easy-to-Read Version
A maskil of Asaph.
74 God, why have you turned away from us for so long?
Why are you still angry with us, your own flock?
2 Remember the people you bought so long ago.
You saved us, and we belong to you.
And remember Mount Zion, the place where you lived.
3 God, come walk through these ancient ruins.
Come back to the Holy Place that the enemy destroyed.
4 The enemy shouted their war cries in the Temple.
They put up their flags there to show they had won the war.
5 Their soldiers attacked the doors,
like workmen chopping down trees.
6 Using axes and hatchets,
they smashed the carved panels inside.
7 They burned down your Holy Place.
It was built to honor your name,
but they pulled it down to the ground.
8 The enemy decided to crush us completely.
They burned every holy place[a] in the country.
9 We do not see any of our signs.[b]
There are no more prophets.
And no one knows how long this will last.
10 God, how much longer will the enemy make fun of us?
Will you let them insult your name forever?
11 Why won’t you help us?
Use your power to defeat our enemies!
12 God, you have been our King for a long time.
You have saved us many times on this earth.
13 With your great power you split open the sea
and broke the heads of the sea monster.
14 Yes, you smashed the heads of Leviathan[c]
and left his body for animals to eat.
15 You make the springs and rivers flow,
and you make the rivers dry up.
16 You control the day and the night.
You made the sun and the moon.
17 You set the limits for everything on earth.
And you created summer and winter.
18 Lord, remember, the enemy insulted you!
Those foolish people hate your name!
19 Don’t give us like a helpless dove to those wild animals.
Never forget your poor, suffering people.
20 Remember the agreement you gave us,
because violence fills every dark place in this land.
21 Your people were treated badly.
Don’t let them be hurt anymore.
Let your poor, helpless people praise you.
22 God, get up and defend yourself!
Remember, those fools challenged you.
23 Don’t forget the shouts of your enemies.
They insulted you again and again.
Footnotes
- Psalm 74:8 holy place Or “El meeting place.” This means every place where people went to meet with God.
- Psalm 74:9 signs These were probably signal fires that people burned as a way of passing messages from one town to the next. In war, this was a way people showed other towns that the enemy had not yet destroyed their own town.
- Psalm 74:14 sea monster … Leviathan These were creatures from ancient stories. People believed that they kept the world from being a safe, orderly place. So this verse means that God controls every part of the world and everything in it.
