我要謹慎我的言行

¹（大衛的詩，交與伶長耶杜頓。）我曾說：我要謹慎我的言行，免得我舌頭犯罪；惡人在我面前的時候，我要用嚼環勒住我的口。For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

²我默然無聲，連好話也不出口；我的愁苦就發動了，I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.

³我的心在我裡面發熱。我默想的時候，火就燒起，我便用舌頭說話。My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

求你叫我曉得我身之終

⁴耶和華啊，求你叫我曉得我身之終！我的壽數幾何？叫我知道我的生命不長！“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

⁵你使我的年日窄如手掌；我一生的年數，在你面前如同無有。各人最穩妥的時候，真是全然虛幻。（細拉）You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah

⁶世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂，真是枉然；積蓄財寶，不知將來有誰收取。Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

我的指望在乎你

⁷主啊，如今我等甚麼呢？我的指望在乎你！And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

⁸求你救我脫離一切的過犯，不要使我受愚頑人的羞辱。Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.

⁹因我所遭遇的是出於你，我就默然不語。I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

¹⁰求你把你的責罰從我身上免去；因你手的責打，我便消滅。Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.

¹¹你因人的罪惡懲罰他的時候，叫他的笑容（的笑容：或譯所喜愛的）消滅，如衣被蟲所咬。世人真是虛幻！（細拉）You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah

¹²耶和華啊，求你聽我的禱告，留心聽我的呼求！我流淚，求你不要靜默無聲！因為我在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，像我列祖一般。Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

¹³求你寬容我，使我在去而不返之先可以力量復原。Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”

他從禍坑裡把我拉上來

¹（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）我曾耐性等候耶和華；他垂聽我的呼求。For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

²他從禍坑裡，從淤泥中，把我拉上來，使我的腳立在磐石上，使我腳步穩當。He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

³他使我口唱新歌，就是讚美我們　神的話。許多人必看見而懼怕，並要倚靠耶和華。He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

倚靠耶和華的人有福

⁴那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的，這人便為有福！Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

⁵耶和華─我的　神啊，你所行的奇事，並你向我們所懷的意念甚多，不能向你陳明。若要陳明，其事不可勝數。Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

我樂意照你的旨意行

⁶祭物和禮物，你不喜悅；你已經開通我的耳朵。燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要。Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

⁷那時我說：看哪，我來了！我的事在經卷上已經記載了。Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:

⁸我的　神啊，我樂意照你的旨意行；你的律法在我心裡。I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

⁹我在大會中宣傳公義的佳音；我必不止住我的嘴唇。耶和華啊，這是你所知道的。I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

求你速速幫助我

¹¹耶和華啊，求你不要向我止住你的慈悲！願你的慈愛和誠實常常保佑我！O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

¹²因有無數的禍患圍困我，我的罪孽追上了我，使我不能昂首；這罪孽比我的頭髮還多，我就心寒膽戰。For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

¹³耶和華啊，求你開恩搭救我！耶和華啊，求你速速幫助我！Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

¹⁴願那些尋找我、要滅我命的，一同抱愧蒙羞！願那些喜悅我受害的，退後受辱！May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

¹⁵願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧而敗亡！May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

¹⁶願一切尋求你的，因你高興歡喜！願那些喜愛你救恩的，常說：當尊耶和華為大！May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

¹⁷但我是困苦窮乏的，主仍顧念我；你是幫助我的，搭救我的。　神啊，求你不要耽延！But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

⁷一切恨我的，都交頭接耳地議論我；他們設計要害我。All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:

⁷誰要下到陰間去呢？（就是要領基督從死裡上來。）」or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

⁸他到底怎麼說呢？他說：這道離你不遠，正在你口裡，在你心裡─（就是我們所傳信主的道。）But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

沒有傳道的，怎能聽見

¹⁴然而，人未曾信他，怎能求他呢？未曾聽見他，怎能信他呢？沒有傳道的，怎能聽見呢？How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

¹⁵若沒有奉差遣，怎能傳道呢？如經上所記：「報福音、傳喜信的人，他們的腳蹤何等佳美！」And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
