Chapter 109

¹For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, Do not be silent!

¹（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）我所讚美的神啊，求你不要閉口不言。

²For they have opened the wicked and deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

²因為惡人的嘴和詭詐人的口已經張開攻擊我；他們用撒謊的舌頭對我說話。

³They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without cause.

³他們圍繞我，說怨恨的話，又無故地攻打我。

⁴In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am [in] prayer.

⁴他們與我為敵以報我愛，但我專心祈禱。

⁵Thus they have repaid me evil for good And hatred for my love.

⁵他們向我以惡報善，以恨報愛。

⁶Appoint a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand.

⁶願你派一個惡人轄制他，派一個對頭站在他右邊！

⁷When he is judged, let him come forth guilty, And let his prayer become sin.

⁷他受審判的時候，願他出來擔當罪名！願他的祈禱反成為罪！

⁸Let his days be few; Let another take his office.

⁸願他的年日短少！願別人得他的職分！

⁹Let his children be fatherless And his wife a widow.

⁹願他的兒女為孤兒，他的妻子為寡婦！

¹⁰Let his children wander about and beg; And let them seek [sustenance] far from their ruined homes.

¹⁰願他的兒女漂流討飯，從他們荒涼之處出來求食！

¹¹Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder the product of his labor.

¹¹願強暴的債主牢籠他一切所有的！願外人搶他勞碌得來的！

¹²Let there be none to extend lovingkindness to him, Nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children.

¹²願無人向他延綿施恩！願無人可憐他的孤兒！

¹³Let his posterity be cut off; In a following generation let their name be blotted out.

¹³願他的後人斷絕，名字被塗抹，不傳於下代！

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁴願他祖宗的罪孽被耶和華記念！願他母親的罪過不被塗抹！

¹⁵Let them be before the LORD continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth;

¹⁵願這些罪常在耶和華面前，使他的名號斷絕於世！

¹⁶Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the afflicted and needy man, And the despondent in heart, to put [them] to death.

¹⁶因為他不想施恩，卻逼迫困苦窮乏的和傷心的人，要把他們治死。

¹⁷He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

¹⁷他愛咒罵，咒罵就臨到他；他不喜愛福樂，福樂就與他遠離！

¹⁸But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered into his body like water And like oil into his bones.

¹⁸他拿咒罵當衣服穿上；這咒罵就如水進他裡面，像油入他的骨頭。

¹⁹Let it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself.

¹⁹願這咒罵當他遮身的衣服，當他常束的腰帶！

²⁰Let this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, And of those who speak evil against my soul.

²⁰這就是我對頭和用惡言議論我的人從耶和華那裡所受的報應。

²¹But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal [kindly] with me for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;

²¹主─耶和華啊，求你為你的名恩待我；因你的慈愛美好，求你搭救我！

²²For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.

²²因為我困苦窮乏，內心受傷。

²³I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like the locust.

²³我如日影漸漸偏斜而去；我如蝗蟲被抖出來。

²⁴My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.

²⁴我因禁食，膝骨軟弱；我身上的肉也漸漸瘦了。

²⁵I also have become a reproach to them; When they see me, they wag their head.

²⁵我受他們的羞辱，他們看見我便搖頭。

²⁶Help me, O LORD my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness.

²⁶耶和華─我的神啊，求你幫助我，照你的慈愛拯救我，

²⁷And let them know that this is Your hand; You, LORD, have done it.

²⁷使他們知道這是你的手，是你─耶和華所行的事。

²⁸Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, they shall be ashamed, But Your servant shall be glad.

²⁸任憑他們咒罵，惟願你賜福；他們幾時起來就必蒙羞，你的僕人卻要歡喜。

²⁹Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

²⁹願我的對頭披戴羞辱！願他們以自己的羞愧為外袍遮身！

³⁰With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the LORD; And in the midst of many I will praise Him.

³⁰我要用口極力稱謝耶和華；我要在眾人中間讚美他；

³¹For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.

³¹因為他必站在窮乏人的右邊，要救他脫離審判他靈魂的人。
