Psalms

老年人的祈祷

1耶和华啊，我投靠你； 求你叫我永不羞愧！

2求你凭你的公义搭救我，救拔我； 侧耳听我，拯救我！

3求你作我常住的磐石； 你已经命定要救我， 因为你是我的岩石，我的山寨。

4我的 神啊，求你救我脱离恶人的手， 脱离不义和残暴之人的手。

5主—耶和华啊，你是我所盼望的； 从我年幼，你是我所倚靠的。

6我从出母胎被你扶持； 使我出母腹的是你。 我必常常赞美你！

7许多人以我为怪， 但你是我坚固的避难所。

8你的赞美，你的荣耀 终日必满了我的口。

9我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我！ 我力气衰弱的时候，求你不要离弃我！

10我的仇敌议论我； 那些窥探要害我命的彼此商议，

11说： 神已经离弃他； 我们追赶他，捉拿他吧！ 因为没有人搭救。

12神啊，求你不要远离我！ 我的 神啊，求你速速帮助我！

13愿那与我性命为敌的，羞愧被灭； 愿那谋害我的，受辱蒙羞。

14我却要常常盼望， 并要越发赞美你。

15我的口终日要述说你的公义和你的救恩， 因我不计其数。

16我要来说主—耶和华大能的事； 我单要提说你的公义。

17神啊，自我年幼时，你就教训我； 直到如今，我传扬你奇妙的作为。

18神啊，我到年老发白的时候， 求你不要离弃我！ 等我将你的能力指示下代， 将你的大能指示后世的人。

19神啊，你的公义甚高； 行过大事的 神啊，谁能像你！

20你是叫我们多经历重大急难的， 必使我们复活， 从地的深处救上来。

21求你使我越发昌大， 又转来安慰我。

22我的 神啊，我要鼓瑟称赞你， 称赞你的诚实！ 以色列的圣者啊，我要弹琴歌颂你！

23我歌颂你的时候， 我的嘴唇和你所赎我的灵魂都必欢呼；

24并且我的舌头必终日讲论你的公义， 因为那些谋害我的人已经蒙羞受辱了。

1A psalm on Solomon.

2Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.

3Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.

4He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.

5And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.

6He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.

7In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.

8And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.

10The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:

11And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.

12For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.

13He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.

14He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.

15And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.

16And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.

17Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.

18Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.

19And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.

20The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
