Capítulo 102

¹A Prayer of the Afflicted when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD! And let my cry for help come to You.

¹（困苦人發昏的時候，在耶和華面前吐露苦情的禱告。）耶和華啊，求你聽我的禱告，容我的呼求達到你面前！

²Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress; Incline Your ear to me; In the day when I call answer me quickly.

²我在急難的日子，求你向我側耳；不要向我掩面！我呼求的日子，求你快快應允我！

³For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have been scorched like a hearth.

³因為，我的年日如煙雲消滅；我的骨頭如火把燒著。

⁴My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away, Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.

⁴我的心被傷，如草枯乾，甚至我忘記吃飯。

⁵Because of the loudness of my groaning My bones cling to my flesh.

⁵因我唉哼的聲音，我的肉緊貼骨頭。

⁶I resemble a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the waste places.

⁶我如同曠野的鵜鶘；我好像荒場的鴞鳥。

⁷I lie awake, I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.

⁷我警醒不睡；我像房頂上孤單的麻雀。

⁸My enemies have reproached me all day long; Those who deride me have used my [name] as a curse.

⁸我的仇敵終日辱罵我；向我猖狂的人指著我賭咒。

⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread And mingled my drink with weeping

⁹我吃過爐灰，如同吃飯；我所喝的與眼淚攙雜。

¹⁰Because of Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up and cast me away.

¹⁰這都因你的惱恨和忿怒；你把我拾起來，又把我摔下去。

¹¹My days are like a lengthened shadow, And I wither away like grass.

¹¹我的年日如日影偏斜；我也如草枯乾。

¹²But You, O LORD, abide forever, And Your name to all generations.

¹²惟你─耶和華必存到永遠；你可記念的名也存到萬代。

¹³You will arise [and] have compassion on Zion; For it is time to be gracious to her, For the appointed time has come.

¹³你必起來憐恤錫安，因現在是可憐他的時候，日期已經到了。

¹⁴Surely Your servants find pleasure in her stones And feel pity for her dust.

¹⁴你的僕人原來喜悅他的石頭，可憐他的塵土。

¹⁵So the nations will fear the name of the LORD And all the kings of the earth Your glory.

¹⁵列國要敬畏耶和華的名；世上諸王都敬畏你的榮耀。

¹⁶For the LORD has built up Zion; He has appeared in His glory.

¹⁶因為耶和華建造了錫安，在他榮耀裡顯現。

¹⁷He has regarded the prayer of the destitute And has not despised their prayer.

¹⁷他垂聽窮人的禱告，並不藐視他們的祈求。

¹⁸This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.

¹⁸這必為後代的人記下，將來受造的民要讚美耶和華。

¹⁹For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven the LORD gazed upon the earth,

¹⁹因為，他從至高的聖所垂看；耶和華從天向地觀察，

²⁰To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free those who were doomed to death,

²⁰要垂聽被囚之人的歎息，要釋放將要死的人，

²¹That [men] may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion And His praise in Jerusalem,

²¹使人在錫安傳揚耶和華的名，在耶路撒冷傳揚讚美他的話，

²²When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

²²就是在萬民和列國聚會事奉耶和華的時候。

²³He has weakened my strength in the way; He has shortened my days.

²³他使我的力量中道衰弱，使我的年日短少。

²⁴I say, 'O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Your years are throughout all generations.

²⁴我說：我的神啊，不要使我中年去世。你的年數世世無窮！

²⁵'Of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

²⁵你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手所造的。

²⁶'Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.

²⁶天地都要滅沒，你卻要長存；天地都要如外衣漸漸舊了。你要將天地如裡衣更換，天地就改變了。

²⁷'But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.

²⁷惟有你永不改變；你的年數沒有窮盡。

²⁸'The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You.'

²⁸你僕人的子孫要長存；他們的後裔要堅立在你面前。
