如鹿切慕溪水

¹（可拉后裔的训诲诗，交与伶长。）　神啊，我的心切慕你，如鹿切慕溪水。For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

²你曾用手赶出外邦人，却栽培了我们列祖；你苦待列邦，却叫我们列祖发达。With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.

³因为他们不是靠自己的刀剑得地土，也不是靠自己的膀臂得胜，乃是靠你的右手、你的膀臂，和你脸上的亮光，因为你喜悦他们。For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

⁴神啊，你是我的王；求你出令使雅各得胜。You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.

¹³你使我们受邻国的羞辱，被四围的人嗤笑讥刺。You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.

¹⁴你使我们在列邦中作了笑谈，使众民向我们摇头。You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.

¹⁵我的凌辱终日在我面前，我脸上的羞愧将我遮蔽，All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,

¹⁶都因那辱骂毁谤人的声音，又因仇敌和报仇人的缘故。at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.

²²我们为你的缘故终日被杀；人看我们如将宰的羊。Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
