New International Reader’s Version

Psalm 71:1-24

Psalm 71

1Lord, I have gone to you for safety.

Let me never be put to shame.

2You do what is right, so save me and help me.

Pay attention to me and save me.

3Be my rock of safety

that I can always go to.

Give the command to save me.

You are my rock and my fort.

4My God, save me from the power of sinners.

Save me from the hands of those who are mean and evil.

5You are the King and the Lord. You have always been my hope.

I have trusted in you ever since I was young.

6From the time I was born I have depended on you.

You brought me out of my mother’s body.

I will praise you forever.

7To many people I am an example of how much you care.

You are my strong place of safety.

8My mouth is filled with praise for you.

All day long I will talk about your glory.

9Don’t push me away when I’m old.

Don’t desert me when my strength is gone.

10My enemies speak against me.

Those who want to kill me get together and make evil plans.

11They say, “God has deserted him.

Go after him and grab him.

No one will save him.”

12God, don’t be far away from me.

My God, come quickly and help me.

13May those who bring charges against me die in shame.

May those who want to harm me

be covered with shame and dishonor.

14But I will always have hope.

I will praise you more and more.

15I will tell other people about all the good things you have done.

All day long I will talk about how you have saved your people.

But there’s no way I could say how many times you’ve done this.

16Lord and King, I will come and announce your mighty acts.

I will announce all the good things that you alone do.

17God, ever since I was young you have taught me.

To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.

18God, don’t leave me

even when I’m old and have gray hair.

Let me live to tell my children about your power.

Let me tell all of them about your mighty acts.

19God, your saving acts reach to the skies.

You have done great things.

God, who is like you?

20You have sent many bitter troubles my way.

But you will give me new life.

Even if I’m almost in the grave,

you will bring me back.

21You will honor me more and more.

You will comfort me once again.

22My God, I will use the harp to praise you

because you are always faithful.

Holy One of Israel,

I will use the lyre to sing praise to you.

23My lips will shout with joy

when I sing praise to you.

You have saved me.

24All day long my tongue will say

that you have done what is right.

Those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame.

They have not been honored.

诗篇 71:1-24

第 71 篇

一个老年人的祈祷

1耶和华啊,我投靠了你,

求你使我永不蒙羞。

2求你凭公义搭救我,

侧耳听我的恳求,拯救我。

3求你成为保护我的磐石,

让我可以随时投靠你。

求你下令救我,

因为你是我的磐石和堡垒。

4我的上帝啊,

求你从恶人手中拯救我,

从邪恶、残暴之徒掌下拯救我。

5主耶和华啊,你是我的盼望,

我从小就信靠你。

6你使我出了母胎,

我从出生就依靠你,

我要永远赞美你。

7我的遭遇使许多人感到惊骇,

但你是我坚固的避难所。

8我口中充满对你的赞美,

终日述说你的荣耀。

9我年老时,求你不要丢弃我;

我体力衰微时,求你不要离弃我。

10我的仇敌议论我,

那些想杀害我的一起策划阴谋,说:

11“上帝已经丢弃了他。

去追赶、捉拿他吧,

因为无人会救他。”

12上帝啊,不要远离我;

我的上帝啊,求你快来帮助我!

13愿我的仇敌在羞辱中灭亡,

愿那些害我的人抱愧蒙羞。

14我必常常心怀盼望,

向你献上更多的赞美。

15虽然我无法测度你的公义和拯救之恩,

但我要终日传扬你的作为。

16主耶和华啊,

我要传扬你大能的作为,

单单述说你的公义。

17上帝啊,

我从小就受你的教导,

直到今日我仍传扬你奇妙的作为。

18上帝啊,

就是我年老发白的时候,

求你也不要丢弃我,

好让我把你的大能告诉下一代,世代相传。

19上帝啊,你的公义高达穹苍,

你成就了奇妙大事。

上帝啊,有谁能像你?

20你使我经历了许多患难,

最终必使我重获新生,

救我脱离死亡的深渊。

21你必赐我更大的尊荣,

你必再次安慰我。

22我的上帝啊,

我要弹琴赞美你的信实;

以色列的圣者啊,

我要伴随着琴声赞美你。

23你救赎了我的灵魂,

我的口和灵魂都要欢呼歌颂你。

24我要终日向人述说你的公义,

因为那些想害我的人已经蒙羞受辱。
