1To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. Of David. Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck.[1] (伯22:11; 诗32:6; 诗45:1; 诗69:14; 诗130:1)2I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. (诗40:2; 诗69:14; 诗124:4)3I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God. (申28:32; 诗6:6; 诗22:15; 诗31:24; 诗119:82; 诗119:123; 赛38:14)4More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore? (诗35:7; 诗35:19; 诗38:19; 诗40:12; 诗59:3; 诗109:3; 诗119:161; 约15:25)5O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.6Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me, O Lord God of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel. (诗25:2)7For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach, that dishonor has covered my face. (诗44:22; 耶15:15)8I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons. (伯19:13; 诗31:11; 诗38:11; 约1:11)9For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. (诗89:41; 诗89:50; 诗119:139; 诗132:1; 约2:17; 羅15:3)10When I wept and humbled[2] my soul with fasting, it became my reproach.11When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. (伯17:6; 诗35:13)12I am the talk of those who sit in the gate, and the drunkards make songs about me. (创19:1; 斯2:19; 伯30:9)13But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness. (诗32:6; 诗109:4; 赛49:8; 林后6:2)14Deliver me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters. (诗69:1; 诗69:2; 诗144:7)15Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me. (民16:33; 诗55:23)16Answer me, O Lord, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. (诗25:16; 诗63:3; 诗106:45; 诗109:21)17Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. (诗18:6; 诗27:9; 诗102:2; 诗143:7)18Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies!19You know my reproach, and my shame and my dishonor; my foes are all known to you. (诗22:6; 诗69:10; 來12:2)20Reproaches have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. (伯16:2; 诗69:19; 诗142:4; 赛63:5; 耶15:5; 太26:37)21They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink. (申29:18; 太27:34; 太27:48; 可15:23; 路23:36; 约19:29)22Let their own table before them become a snare; and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.[3] (诗23:5; 诗35:4; 诗109:6; 羅11:9; 帖前5:3)23Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and make their loins tremble continually. (赛6:10; 但5:6; 鸿2:10; 太13:14)24Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your burning anger overtake them.25May their camp be a desolation; let no one dwell in their tents. (太23:38; 路13:35; 徒1:20)26For they persecute him whom you have struck down, and they recount the pain of those you have wounded. (伯19:21; 赛53:4; 亚1:15)27Add to them punishment upon punishment; may they have no acquittal from you.[4] (尼4:5)28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous. (出32:32; 结13:9; 路10:20; 腓4:3; 來12:23; 启3:5)29But I am afflicted and in pain; let your salvation, O God, set me on high! (诗20:1)30I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. (诗28:7; 诗34:3; 诗50:14; 诗50:23)31This will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs. (利11:3; 诗50:13)32When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. (诗22:26; 诗34:2)33For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners. (诗68:6)34Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them. (诗96:11; 诗98:7; 诗148:1; 赛44:23; 赛49:13)35For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it; (诗51:18; 赛44:26)36the offspring of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell in it. (诗37:29; 诗102:28; 赛65:9)
