第22篇
苦難中的呼求和感恩
大衛的詩，交給樂長，調用「朝鹿」。
1我的上帝，我的上帝，
你為什麼離棄我？
為何遠遠地不來救我，
不聽我的哀號呢？
2我的上帝啊，
我白天呼求，你不回應；
我夜間呼求，仍無安寧。
3然而，你是聖潔的，
你的寶座設立在以色列人的頌讚之上。
4我們的祖先信靠你，
他們信靠你，
你就解救他們。
5他們向你呼求，
就得到拯救；
他們信靠你，
就不會蒙羞。
6但我只是一條蟲，而非人，
受盡羞辱和藐視。
7看見我的人都譏笑我，
他們撇著嘴、搖著頭說：
8「他信靠耶和華，
讓耶和華救他吧！
既然耶和華喜悅他，
讓耶和華拯救他吧！」
9但耶和華啊，
是你使我從母腹中出生，
讓我在母親懷裡便倚靠你。
10我一出生就被交托給你，
你從我出母胎就是我的上帝。
11求你不要遠離我，
因為危難當頭，無人幫我。
12我被許多仇敵圍困，
他們像巴珊的公牛那樣強壯。
13他們張口要吞噬我，
如同吼叫著撕食獵物的獅子。
14我的力量如水消逝，
我的骨頭都脫了節，
我的心如蠟熔化。
15我的力量枯竭如焦土，
我的舌頭緊貼上顎。
你把我放在死亡的塵土中。
16惡人包圍我，猶如一群惡犬，
他們刺傷我的手腳。
17我身上的骨頭歷歷可見，
人們都幸災樂禍地盯著我。
18他們分我的外衣，
又為我的內衣抽籤。
19耶和華啊，求你不要遠離我。
你是我的力量，
求你快來幫助我。
20求你救我逃脫刀劍之災，
從這些惡犬的利爪下拯救我的生命。
21求你救我脫離獅子的口，
使我脫離野牛的角。
22我要向眾弟兄傳揚你的名，
在會眾當中讚美你。
23敬畏耶和華的人啊，要讚美祂！
所有雅各的後裔啊，要尊崇祂，
所有以色列的後裔啊，要敬畏祂。
24因為祂沒有藐視、厭惡苦難中的人，
也沒有掩面不顧他們，
而是垂聽他們的呼求。
25我要在大會中讚美你，
在敬畏你的人面前履行我的誓言。
26窮苦人必吃得飽足，
尋求耶和華的人必讚美祂，
他們的心要永遠歡欣。
27普世都要心繫耶和華，歸向祂，
各國人民都要敬拜祂。
28因為耶和華是主宰，
祂統治列國。
29世上的富貴人要歡宴敬拜祂，
必歸塵土、無法長活的世人都要跪拜祂。
30世世代代的人都要事奉祂，
向後人傳揚主所行的奇事。
31他們要向將來的人傳講祂的公義作為。
Psalm 22In Hebrew texts 22:1-31 is numbered 22:2-32.
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of the Morning.” A psalm of David.
1My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?
2My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, but I find no rest.22:2 Or night, and am not silent
3Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the one Israel praises.22:3 Or Yet you are holy, / enthroned on the praises of Israel
4In you our ancestors put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.
5To you they cried out and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
6But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
7All who see me mock me;
they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
8“He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
“let the Lord rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
since he delights in him.”
9Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
10From birth I was cast on you;
from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
11Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.
12Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13Roaring lions that tear their prey
open their mouths wide against me.
14I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted within me.
15My mouth22:15 Probable reading of the original Hebrew text; Masoretic Text strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16Dogs surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce22:16 Dead Sea Scrolls and some manuscripts of the Masoretic Text, Septuagint and Syriac; most manuscripts of the Masoretic Text me, / like a lion my hands and my feet.
17All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
18They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.
19But you, Lord, do not be far from me.
You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
20Deliver me from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22I will declare your name to my people;
in the assembly I will praise you.
23You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
24For he has not despised or scorned
the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
but has listened to his cry for help.
25From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
before those who fear you22:25 Hebrew him I will fulfill my vows.
26The poor will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise him—
may your hearts live forever!
27All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,
28for dominion belongs to the Lord
and he rules over the nations.
29All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive.
30Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord.
31They will proclaim his righteousness,
declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!
