1 To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of David.
2 \69:1\Be my saviour, O God; because the waters have come in, even to my neck.
3 \69:2\My feet are deep in the soft earth, where there is no support; I have come into deep waters, the waves are flowing over me.
4 \69:3\I am tired with my crying; my throat is burning: my eyes are wasted with waiting for my God.
5 \69:4\Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.
6 \69:5\O God, you see how foolish I am; and my wrongdoing is clear to you.
7 \69:6\Let not those who have hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord God of armies: let not those who are waiting for you be made low because of me, O God of Israel.
8 \69:7\I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.
9 \69:8\I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children.
10 \69:9\I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.
11 \69:10\My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame.
12 \69:11\When I put on the clothing of grief, they said evil of me.
13 \69:12\I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.
14 \69:13\But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.
15 \69:14\Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.
16 \69:15\Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.
17 \69:16\Give an answer to my words, O Lord; for your mercy is good: be turned to me, because of your great pity.
18 \69:17\Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.
19 \69:18\Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.
20 \69:19\You have seen my shame, how I was laughed at and made low; my haters are all before you.
21 \69:20\My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter.
22 \69:21\They gave me poison for my food; and bitter wine for my drink.
23 \69:22\Let their table before them be for their destruction; let their feasts become a net to take them.
24 \69:23\Let their eyes be blind so that they may not see; let their bodies for ever be shaking.
25 \69:24\Let your curse come on them; let the heat of your wrath overtake them.
26 \69:25\Give their houses to destruction, and let there be no one in their tents.
27 \69:26\Because they are cruel to him against whom your hand is turned; they make bitter the grief of him who is wounded by you.
28 \69:27\Let their punishment be increased; let them not come into your righteousness.
29 \69:28\Let their names be taken from the book of the living, let them not be numbered with the upright.
30 \69:29\But I am poor and full of sorrow; let me be lifted up by your salvation, O Lord.
31 \69:30\I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done.
32 \69:31\This will be more pleasing to the Lord than an ox, or a young ox of full growth.
33 \69:32\The poor will see it and be glad: you who are lovers of God, let your hearts have life.
34 \69:33\For the ears of the Lord are open to the poor, and he takes thought for his prisoners.
35 \69:34\Let the heavens and the earth give praise to him, the seas, and everything moving in them.
36 \69:35\For God will be the saviour of Zion, and the builder of the towns of Judah; so that it may be their resting-place and heritage.
37 \69:36\The seed of his servants will have their part in it, and there the lovers of his name will have rest.
1 神啊！ 求你拯救我， 因为大水淹没了我。
2 我深陷在淤泥中， 没有立足之地； 我到了水深之处， 波涛漫过我身。
3 我因不住呼求而疲倦， 我的喉咙发干； 我因等候我的 神， 眼睛昏花。
4 那些无故恨我的， 比我的头发还多； 无理与我为敌， 要把我灭绝的， 人数众多。我没有抢夺过的， 竟要我偿还。
5 神啊！ 我的愚昧你是知道的， 我的罪愆不能向你隐瞒。
6 主万军之耶和华啊！ 愿那些等候你的， 不要因我蒙羞； 以色列的 神啊！ 愿那些寻求你的， 不要因我受辱。
7 然而， 为了你的缘故， 我忍受辱骂， 满面羞愧。
8 我的兄弟都疏远我， 我同母的兄弟把我当作外人。
9 因我为你的殿， 心中迫切如同火烧； 辱骂你的人的辱骂， 都落在我身上。
10 我哭泣禁食， 这竟成了我的羞辱。
11 我披上麻衣， 就成了他们取笑的对象。
12 坐在城门口的人对我议论纷纷， 我成了酒徒之歌。
13 但是， 耶和华啊！ 在悦纳的时候， 我向你祷告； 神啊！ 求你按着你丰盛的慈爱， 凭着你信实的拯救应允我。
14 求你救我脱离淤泥， 不要容我沉下去； 求你救我脱离那些恨我的人， 救我脱离深水。
15 求你不要让波涛淹没我， 不要让深水吞灭我， 也不要让深坑把我封闭。
16 耶和华啊！ 求你应允我， 因为你的慈爱美善； 求你照着你丰盛的怜悯转脸垂顾我。
17 求你不要向你的仆人掩面； 求你快快应允我， 因为我在困境之中。
18 求你亲近我， 拯救我， 因我仇敌的缘故救赎我。
19 我所受的辱骂、欺凌和侮辱， 你都知道， 我所有的敌人都在你面前。
20 辱骂伤了我的心， 我忧愁难过； 我希望有人同情， 却一个也没有； 我希望有人安慰， 还是找不到一个。
21 他们在我的食物中加上苦胆， 我渴了， 他们把醋给我喝。
22 愿他们的筵席在他们面前变为网罗、报应和陷阱（"报应和陷阱"按照《马索拉抄本》应作"在他们平安的时候， 变为陷阱"； 现参照《七十士译本》翻译。又按照《他耳根》或译： "愿他们的平安祭筵变为陷阱"）。
23 愿他们的眼睛昏花， 不能看见； 愿他们的腰不停地战抖。
24 求你把你的恼怒倾倒在他们身上， 使你的烈怒追上他们。
25 愿他们的住处变为荒场； 愿他们的帐幕无人居住。
26 因为他们迫害你所击打的人， 嘲笑你所击伤的人的痛苦。
27 愿你在他们的惩罚上加上惩罚， 不容他们在你面前得称为义。
28 愿他们的名字从生命册上被涂抹， 不要让他们和义人一同被记录。
29 至于我， 我是忧伤痛苦的人； 神啊！ 愿你的救恩保护我。
30 我要用诗歌赞美 神的名， 以感谢尊他为大。
31 这就使耶和华喜悦， 胜过献牛， 或是献有角有蹄的公牛。
32 困苦的人看见了就喜乐； 寻求 神的人哪！ 愿你们的心苏醒。
33 因为耶和华垂听了贫穷人的祷告， 也不藐视属他自己、正被囚禁的人。
34 愿天和地都赞美他， 愿海洋和海中一切生物都赞美他。
35 因为 神要拯救锡安， 要建造犹大的众城； 他的子民必在那里居住， 并且拥有那地为业。
36 他众仆人的后裔都必承受那地为业， 喜爱他名的人要住在其中。
