1 [To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.
4 Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.
5 Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, {thou} *God of truth.
6 I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
9 Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
11 More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
12 I am forgotten in {their} heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many-terror on every side-when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
14 But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
17 Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.
18 Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
19 {Oh} how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, {which} thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
20 Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
22 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.
1 耶和华啊！ 我投靠你； 求你使我永不羞愧， 求你按着你的公义搭救我。
2 求你留心听我， 赶快拯救我； 求你作我坚固的磐石， 作拯救我的坚垒。
3 因为你是我的岩石、我的坚垒； 为你名的缘故， 求你带领我， 引导我。
4 求你救我脱离人为我暗设的网罗， 因为你是我的避难所。
5 我把我的灵魂交在你手里， 耶和华信实的 神啊！ 你救赎了我。
6 我恨恶那些信奉虚无偶像的人； 至于我， 我却倚靠耶和华。
7 我要因你的慈爱欢喜快乐， 因为你看见了我的困苦， 知道我心中的痛苦；
8 你没有把我交在仇敌的手里， 你使我的脚站稳在宽阔之地。
9 耶和华啊！ 求你恩待我， 因为我在患难之中； 我的眼睛因愁烦昏花， 我的身、我的心也都衰残。
10 我的生命因愁苦耗尽， 我的岁月在叹息中消逝， 我的力量因罪孽衰退， 我的骨头也枯干。
11 我因众仇敌的缘故， 成了众人羞辱的对象， 在我的邻居面前更是这样； 认识我的人都惧怕我； 在街上看见我的， 都避开我。
12 我被人完全忘记， 如同死了的人， 我好像破碎的器皿，
13 我听见许多人的毁谤， 四周都有惊吓； 他们一同商议攻击我， 图谋要取我的性命。
14 但是， 耶和华啊！ 我还是倚靠你； 我说： "你是我的 神。"
15 我的一生都在你的手中； 求你救我脱离我仇敌的手， 和那些迫害我的人。
16 求你用你的脸光照你的仆人， 以你的慈爱拯救我。
17 耶和华啊！ 求你不要使我羞愧， 因为我向你呼求； 求你使恶人羞愧， 使他们在阴间静寂无声。
18 那些逞骄傲， 态度轻慢， 说话狂傲攻击义人的， 愿他们说谎的嘴唇哑而无声。
19 耶和华啊！ 你为敬畏你的人所珍藏的好处， 为投靠你的人在世人面前所施行的恩惠， 是多么丰盛。
20 你把他们藏在你面前的隐密处， 免得他们陷在世人的阴谋里； 又把他们保护在帐棚内， 以免落在口舌的争竞中。
21 耶和华是应当称颂的， 因为我在被围困的城里， 他就向我显出他奇妙的慈爱。
22 至于我， 我曾在惊恐中说： "我从你眼前被隔绝"； 可是我向你呼求的时候， 你还是垂听了我恳求的声音。
23 耶和华的众圣民哪！ 你们都要爱耶和华； 耶和华保护诚实的人， 却严厉地报应行事骄傲的人。
24 所有仰望耶和华的人， 你们都要刚强， 坚固你们的心。
