Psalms

大卫的诗，交与伶长。调用百合花。

1神啊，求你救我！ 因为众水要淹没我。

2我陷在深淤泥中，没有立脚之地； 我到了深水中，大水漫过我身。

3我因呼求困乏，喉咙发干； 我因等候 神，眼睛失明。

4无故恨我的，比我头发还多； 无理与我为仇、要把我剪除的，甚为强盛。 我没有抢夺的，要叫我偿还。

5神啊，我的愚昧，你原知道； 我的罪愆不能隐瞒。

6万军的主—耶和华啊， 求你叫那等候你的，不要因我蒙羞！ 以色列的 神啊， 求你叫那寻求你的，不要因我受辱！

7因我为你的缘故受了辱骂， 满面羞愧。

8我的弟兄看我为外路人； 我的同胞看我为外邦人。

9因我为你的殿心里焦急，如同火烧， 并且辱骂你人的辱骂都落在我身上。

10我哭泣，以禁食刻苦我心； 这倒算为我的羞辱。

11我拿麻布当衣裳， 就成了他们的笑谈。

12坐在城门口的谈论我； 酒徒也以我为歌曲。

13但我在悦纳的时候向你—耶和华祈祷。 神啊，求你按你丰盛的慈爱， 凭你拯救的诚实应允我！

14求你搭救我出离淤泥， 不叫我陷在其中； 求你使我脱离那些恨我的人， 使我出离深水。

15求你不容大水漫过我， 不容深渊吞灭我， 不容坑坎在我以上合口。

16耶和华啊，求你应允我！ 因为你的慈爱本为美好； 求你按你丰盛的慈悲回转眷顾我！

17不要掩面不顾你的仆人； 我是在急难之中，求你速速地应允我！

18求你亲近我，救赎我！ 求你因我的仇敌把我赎回！

19你知道我受的辱骂、欺凌、羞辱； 我的敌人都在你面前。

20辱骂伤破了我的心， 我又满了忧愁。 我指望有人体恤，却没有一个； 我指望有人安慰，却找不着一个。

21他们拿苦胆给我当食物； 我渴了，他们拿醋给我喝。

22愿他们的筵席在他们面前变为网罗， 在他们平安的时候变为机槛。

23愿他们的眼睛昏蒙，不得看见； 愿你使他们的腰常常战抖。

24求你将你的恼恨倒在他们身上， 叫你的烈怒追上他们。

25愿他们的住处变为荒场； 愿他们的帐棚无人居住。

26因为，你所击打的，他们就逼迫； 你所击伤的，他们戏说他的愁苦。

27愿你在他们的罪上加罪， 不容他们在你面前称义。

28愿他们从生命册上被涂抹， 不得记录在义人之中。

29但我是困苦忧伤的； 神啊，愿你的救恩将我安置在高处。

30我要以诗歌赞美 神的名， 以感谢称他为大！

31这便叫耶和华喜悦，胜似献牛， 或是献有角有蹄的公牛。

32谦卑的人看见了就喜乐； 寻求 神的人，愿你们的心苏醒。

33因为耶和华听了穷乏人， 不藐视被囚的人。

34愿天和地、 洋海和其中一切的动物都赞美他！

35因为 神要拯救锡安，建造犹大的城邑； 他的民要在那里居住，得以为业。

36他仆人的后裔要承受为业； 爱他名的人也要住在其中。

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.

1Save me, O God,for the waters are up to my neck.

2I have sunk into the miry depths,where there is no footing;I have drifted into deep waters,where the flood engulfs me.

3I am weary from my crying;my throat is parched.My eyes fail,looking for my God.

4Those who hate me without causeoutnumber the hairs of my head;many are those who would destroy me—my enemies for no reason.Though I did not steal,I must repay.

5You know my folly, O God,and my guilt is not hidden from You.

6May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me,O Lord GOD of Hosts;may those who seek You not be dishonored through me,O God of Israel.

7For I have endured scorn for Your sake,and shame has covered my face.

8I have become a stranger to my brothersand a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

9because zeal for Your house has consumed me,and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.

10I wept and fasted,but it brought me reproach.

11I made sackcloth my clothing,and I was sport to them.

12Those who sit at the gate mock me,and I am the song of drunkards.

13But my prayer to You, O LORD,is for a time of favor.In Your abundant loving devotion, O God,answer me with Your sure salvation.

14Rescue me from the mireand do not let me sink;deliver me from my foesand out of the deep waters.

15Do not let the floods engulf meor the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

16Answer me, O LORD,for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.

17Hide not Your face from Your servant,for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!

18Draw near to my soul and redeem me;ransom me because of my foes.

19You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace.All my adversaries are before You.

20Insults have broken my heart,and I am in despair.I looked for sympathy, but there was none,for comforters, but I found no one.

21They poisoned my food with galland gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

22May their table become a snare;may it be a retribution and a trap.

23May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,and their backs be bent forever.

24Pour out Your wrath upon them,and let Your burning anger overtake them.

25May their place be deserted;let there be no one to dwell in their tents.

26For they persecute the one You struckand recount the pain of those You wounded.

27Add iniquity to their iniquity;let them not share in Your righteousness.

28May they be blotted out of the Book of Lifeand not listed with the righteous.

29But I am in pain and distress;let Your salvation protect me, O God.

30I will praise God’s name in songand exalt Him with thanksgiving.

31And this will please the LORD more than an ox,more than a bull with horns and hooves.

32The humble will see and rejoice.You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!

33For the LORD listens to the needyand does not despise His captive people.

34Let heaven and earth praise Him,the seas and everything that moves in them.

35For God will save Zionand rebuild the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.

36The descendants of His servants will inherit it,and those who love His name will settle in it.
