Psalms

大卫的诗，交与伶长。

1眷顾贫穷的有福了！ 他遭难的日子，耶和华必搭救他。

2耶和华必保全他，使他存活； 他必在地上享福。 求你不要把他交给仇敌，遂其所愿。

3他病重在榻，耶和华必扶持他； 他在病中，你必给他铺床。

4我曾说：耶和华啊，求你怜恤我，医治我！ 因为我得罪了你。

5我的仇敌用恶言议论我说： 他几时死，他的名才灭亡呢？

6他来看我就说假话； 他心存奸恶，走到外边才说出来。

7一切恨我的，都交头接耳地议论我； 他们设计要害我。

8他们说：有怪病贴在他身上； 他已躺卧，必不能再起来。

9连我知己的朋友， 我所倚靠、吃过我饭的也用脚踢我。

10耶和华啊，求你怜恤我， 使我起来，好报复他们！

11因我的仇敌不得向我夸胜， 我从此便知道你喜爱我。

12你因我纯正就扶持我， 使我永远站在你的面前。

13耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的， 从亘古直到永远。阿们！阿们！

1To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.

2Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

3Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

4I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

5Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!

6And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.

7All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

8A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

9Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

10And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.

11By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

12As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

13Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
