To the choir director: according to Shoshannim. Of David
大卫的诗，交与歌咏长；调用百合花。

Save me, O God; for the waters / Threaten my life.
神啊，求你救我；因为众水威胁我的性命。

I sink in deep mire, / And there is no place to stand; / I have come to the depths of water, / And the flood flows over me.
我陷在深淤泥中，没有立脚之地；我到了深水中，洪水漫过我身。

I am weary of my crying; / My throat is parched; / My eyes fail / While I wait for my God.
我因呼求困乏，喉咙发干；我因等候我的神，眼睛失明。

More numerous than the hairs of my head / Are those who hate me without cause; / Mighty are those who would destroy me, / Those who are wrongly my enemies. / What I did not steal, / I must then restore.
无故恨我的，比我头发还多；无理与我为仇，要把我除灭的，极为强盛；我没有抢夺的，竟要我偿还。

O God, You know my foolishness, / And my sins of guilt are not hidden from You.
神啊，我的愚昧你原知道；我的罪愆不能向你隐瞒。

Do not let those who wait on You be put to shame because of me, / O Lord Jehovah of hosts; / Do not let those who seek You be humiliated because of me, / O God of Israel.
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。

Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; / Humiliation has covered my face.
因我为你的缘故担受了辱骂，满面羞愧。

I have become a stranger to my brothers, / And a foreigner to my mother's children.
我的兄弟看我是外路人；我母亲的儿子看我是外邦人。

For the zeal of Your house has devoured me, / And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
因我为你的家，心里焦急，如同火烧；并且辱骂你之人的辱骂，都落在我身上。

When I wept, when my soul was in fasting, / That became a reproach to me.
我哭泣，以禁食刻苦我魂，这倒成了我的羞辱。

When I made sackcloth my clothing, / I became a proverb to them.
我拿麻布当衣裳，就成了他们的笑谈。

Those who sit in the gate talk about me, / And I am the mocking song of those who drink liquor.
坐在城门口的谈论我，酒徒也以我为歌曲。

But as for me, my prayer is to You, / O Jehovah, in an acceptable time; / O God, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness answer me, / In the faithfulness of Your salvation.
但耶和华啊，我在悦纳的时候，向你祷告；神啊，求你按你丰盛的慈爱，凭你拯救的信实，应允我。

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; / May I be delivered from those who hate me, / And out of the depths of water.
求你救我出离淤泥，不让我沉陷下去；求你救我脱离那些恨我的人，救我出离深水。

Do not let the flood of water flow over me, / Nor let the deep swallow me, / Nor let the pit close its mouth over me.
求你不让洪水漫过我，不让深渊吞灭我，不让坑坎在我以上合口。

Answer me, O Jehovah; for Your lovingkindness is good; / According to the abundance of Your compassions turn to me.
耶和华啊，求你应允我，因为你的慈爱本为美好；求你按你丰盛的怜恤，回转眷顾我。

And do not hide Your face from Your servant, / For I am in distress; hurry and answer me.
不要向你的仆人掩面，因我是在急难之中；求你速速地应允我。

Draw near to my soul; redeem it; / Ransom me because of my enemies.
求你亲近我，救赎我；求你因我的仇敌把我赎回。

You know my reproach / And my shame and my humiliation; / All my adversaries are before You.
你知道我受的辱骂、欺凌、羞辱；我的敌人都在你面前。

Reproach has broken my heart, / And I am sick; / I looked for pity, but there was none; / And for comforters, but I found none.
辱骂伤破了我的心，我又忧愁难过；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。

But they gave me gall for my food, / And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
他们拿苦胆给我当食物；我渴了，他们拿醋给我喝。

May their table become a snare before them / And a trap when they are at peace.
愿他们的筵席，在他们面前变为网罗，在他们平安的时候，变为陷阱。

May their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see; / And make their loins shake continually.
愿他们的眼睛昏蒙，不能看见；愿你使他们的腰常常战抖。

Pour out Your indignation upon them; / And may the burning fierceness of Your anger overtake them.
求你将你的恼恨，倒在他们身上；愿你的烈怒，追上他们。

May their camp be desolate; / May there be no one to dwell in their tents.
愿他们的营寨，变为荒凉；愿他们的帐棚，无人居住。

For they persecute him whom You have stricken, / And they recount the pain of those whom You have wounded.
因为他们逼迫你所击打的人，数说你所击伤之人的伤痛。

Add iniquity to their iniquity, / And do not let them come into Your righteousness.
求你在他们的罪孽上加罪孽，不要让他们进入你的义。

May they be blotted out of the book of life, / And may they not be written with the righteous.
愿他们从生命册上被涂抹，不得与义人一同登录。

But I am poor and pained; / May Your salvation, O God, set me on high.
但我是困苦伤痛的；神啊，愿你的救恩将我安置在高处。

I will praise the name of God with a song / And will magnify Him with thanksgiving;
我要以诗歌赞美神的名，以感谢尊祂为大；

And it will be better to Jehovah than an ox / Or a bull with horns and hooves.
这便叫耶和华看为美，胜似献牛，或是献有角有蹄的公牛。

The meek have seen it; they rejoice. / You who seek God, let your heart revive.
温柔的人看见了，就喜乐。寻求神的人，愿你们的心苏醒。

For Jehovah listens to the needy, / And He does not despise His prisoners.
因为耶和华垂听了穷乏人，不藐视属祂被囚的人。

Let the heavens and the earth praise Him, / The seas and everything that moves in them.
愿天和地，洋海和其中一切的动物，都赞美祂。

For God will save Zion / And build the cities of Judah; / And they will abide there and possess it.
因为神要拯救锡安，建造犹大的城邑；祂的民要在那里居住，得以为业。

And the seed of His servants will inherit it, / And those who love His name will dwell in it.
祂仆人的后裔要承受为业，爱祂名的人也要住在其中。

O God, hasten to deliver me; / O Jehovah, hasten to help me.
神啊，求你快快搭救我；耶和华啊，求你快快帮助我。

May those who seek my life / Be put to shame and confounded; / May those who take delight in my misfortune / Be turned back and humiliated;
愿那些寻索我命的，抱愧蒙羞；愿那些喜悦我遭难的，退后受辱。

May those who say, Aha! Aha! / Turn away because of their shame;
愿那些对我说“啊哈，啊哈”的，因羞愧退去。

May all those who seek You / Be glad and rejoice in You; / And may those who love Your salvation / Say continually, / May God be magnified!
愿一切寻求你的，因你欢喜快乐；愿那些爱你救恩的，常说，当尊神为大！

But I am poor and needy; / O God, hasten to me. / You are my help and my Deliverer; / O Jehovah, do not delay.
但我是困苦穷乏的；神啊，求你速速到我这里来。你是帮助我的，搭救我的；耶和华啊，求你不要耽延。

In You, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; / Never let me be put to shame.
耶和华啊，我投靠你；求你叫我永不羞愧。

In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; / Incline Your ear to me and save me.
求你凭你的公义搭救我，救拔我；求你侧耳听我，拯救我。

Be to me a rock of habitation for me to come to continually. / You have given command to save me, / For You are my rock and my fortress.
求你作我居住的磐石，使我可以常常进入其中。你已经命定要救我，因为你是我的岩石，我的山寨。

My God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked, / From the hand of the unjust and cruel;
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；

For You are my hope, O Lord Jehovah, / My trust from my youth.
因为主耶和华啊，你是我所盼望的，是我从年幼所倚靠的。

On You I have been sustained since birth; / It was You who took me from my mother's womb; / My praise is continually of You.
我从出生就受你扶持；使我出母腹的是你；我必常常赞美你。

I am like a wonder to many, / But You are my strong refuge.
许多人以我为怪，但你是我坚固的避难所。

My mouth is filled with Your praise, / With Your glory, all day long.
我的口必终日满了赞美你、歌颂你荣耀的话。

Do not cast me off in the time of old age; / When my strength fails, do not forsake me.
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。

For my enemies speak concerning me, / And those who watch for my soul take counsel together,
我的仇敌议论我，那些窥探要害我命的一同商议，

Saying, God has forsaken him; / Pursue and lay hold of him, for there is no one to deliver him.
说，神已经离弃他；我们追赶他，捉拿他吧，因为没有人搭救他。

O God, do not be far away from me; / My God, hasten to help me.
神啊，求你不要远离我；我的神啊，求你速速帮助我。

May those who are the adversaries to my soul / Be put to shame and consumed; / May those who seek my misfortune / Wrap themselves in reproach and humiliation.
愿那些与我性命为敌的，羞愧灭没；愿那些谋害我的，受辱蒙羞。

But I will hope continually / And will add yet more to all Your praise.
我却要常常盼望，并要越发赞美你。

My mouth will recount Your righteousness, / Your salvation, all day long; / For I do not know its full numbers.
我的口终日要述说你的公义，和你的救恩，因我不知其数。

I will come with the proof of the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah; / I will remind men of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
我要来见证主耶和华大能的作为；我要提说你独有的公义。

O God, You have taught me from my youth; / And until now I have declared Your wondrous deeds.
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。

So even into my old age and grayheadedness, / O God, do not forsake me, / Until I have declared Your strength / Unto the next generation, / Your might unto everyone who is to come.
神啊，即使到我年老发白的时候，求你仍不离弃我，等我将你的能力指示下代，将你的大能指示后世的人。

And Your righteousness, O God, is so high, / You who have done great things. / O God, who is like You?
神啊，你是行过大事的，你的公义甚高。神啊，谁能像你？

You who have shown me / Many great troubles / Will revive me again / And bring me up again / From the depths of the earth.
你是叫我多经历重大急难的，必使我复苏，使我从地的深处再上来。

You will increase my greatness / And will turn and comfort me.
你要使我越发昌大，且转来安慰我。

I will also praise You with the harp, / I will praise Your faithfulness, my God; / I will sing psalms to You with the lyre, / O Holy One of Israel.
我的神啊，我也要鼓瑟赞美你，赞美你的信实；以色列的圣者啊，我要弹琴歌颂你。

My lips will give a ringing shout / When I sing psalms to You, / And my soul, which You have redeemed.
我歌颂你的时候，我的嘴唇，和你所救赎我的魂，都必欢呼。

My tongue also will declare / Your righteousness all day long; / For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, / They who seek my misfortune.
并且我的舌头，要终日讲论你的公义；因为那些谋害我的人，已经蒙羞受辱了。
