Psalms

亚萨的诗。

1神啊，外邦人进入你的产业， 污秽你的圣殿，使耶路撒冷变成荒堆，

2把你仆人的尸首交与天空的飞鸟为食， 把你圣民的肉交与地上的野兽，

3在耶路撒冷周围流他们的血如水， 无人葬埋。

4我们成为邻国的羞辱， 成为我们四围人的嗤笑讥刺。

5耶和华啊，这到几时呢？ 你要动怒到永远吗？ 你的愤恨要如火焚烧吗？

6愿你将你的忿怒倒在那不认识你的外邦 和那不求告你名的国度。

7因为他们吞了雅各， 把他的住处变为荒场。

8求你不要记念我们先祖的罪孽，向我们追讨； 愿你的慈悲快迎着我们， 因为我们落到极卑微的地步。

9拯救我们的 神啊，求你因你名的荣耀帮助我们！ 为你名的缘故搭救我们，赦免我们的罪。

10为何容外邦人说「他们的 神在哪里」呢？ 愿你使外邦人知道你在我们眼前 伸你仆人流血的冤。

11愿被囚之人的叹息达到你面前； 愿你按你的大能力存留那些将要死的人。

12主啊，愿你将我们邻邦所羞辱你的羞辱 加七倍归到他们身上。

13这样，你的民，你草场的羊， 要称谢你，直到永远； 要述说赞美你的话，直到万代。

A Psalm of Asaph.

1The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance;they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

2They have given the corpses of Your servantsas food to the birds of the air, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.

3They have poured out their blood like waterall around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.

4We have become a reproach to our neighbors,a scorn and derision to those around us.

5How long, O LORD?Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6Pour out Your wrath on the nationsthat do not acknowledge You,on the kingdomsthat refuse to call on Your name,

7for they have devoured Jacoband devastated his homeland.

8Do not hold past sins against us;let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.

9Help us, O God of our salvation,for the glory of Your name;deliver us and atone for our sins,for the sake of Your name.

10Why should the nations ask,“Where is their God?”Before our eyes, make known among the nationsYour vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants.

11May the groans of the captives reach You;by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.

12Pay back into the laps of our neighborssevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord.

13Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture,will thank You forever;from generation to generationwe will declare Your praise.
