诗篇22:
1(大卫的诗,交与伶长。调用朝鹿。)我的神,我的神,为什么离弃我。为什么远离不救我,不听我唉哼的言语。
2我的神啊,我白日呼求,你不应允。夜间呼求,并不住声。
3但你是圣洁的,是用以色列的赞美为宝座的(宝座或作居所)。
4我们的祖宗倚靠你。他们倚靠你,你便解救他们。
5他们哀求你,便蒙解救。他们倚靠你,就不羞愧。
6但我是虫,不是人。被众人羞辱,被百姓藐视。
7凡看见我的都嗤笑我。他们撇嘴摇头,说,
8他把自己交托耶和华,耶和华可以救他吧。耶和华既喜悦他,可以搭救他吧。
9但你是叫我出母腹的。我在母怀里,你就使我有倚靠的心。
10我自出母胎就被交在你手里。从我母亲生我,你就是我的神。
11求你不要远离我。因为急难临近了,没有人帮助我。
12有许多公牛围绕我。巴珊大力的公牛四面困住我。
13他们向我张口,好像抓撕吼叫的狮子。
14我如水被倒出来。我的骨头都脱了节。我心在我里面如蜡熔化。
15我的精力枯干,如同瓦片。我的舌头贴在我牙床上。你将我安置在死地的尘土中。
16犬类围着我。恶党环绕我。他们扎了我的手,我的脚。
17我的骨头,我都能数过。他们瞪着眼看我。
18他们分我的外衣,为我的里衣拈阄。
19耶和华啊,求你不要远离我。我的救主啊,求你快来帮助我。
20求你救我的灵魂脱离刀剑,救我的生命脱离犬类(生命原文作独一者)。
21救我脱离狮子的口。你已经应允我,使我脱离野牛的角。
22我要将你的名传与我的弟兄。在会中我要赞美你。
23你们敬畏耶和华的人,要赞美他。雅各的后裔,都要荣耀他。以色列的后裔,都要惧怕他。
24因为他没有藐视憎恶受苦的人。也没有向他掩面。那受苦之人呼吁的时候,他就垂听。
25我在大会中赞美你的话,是从你而来的。我要在敬畏耶和华的人面前还我的愿。
26谦卑的人必吃得饱足。寻求耶和华的人必赞美他。愿你们的心永远活着。
27地的四极,都要想念耶和华,并且归顺他。列国的万族,都要在你面前敬拜。
28因为国权是耶和华的。他是管理万国的。
29地上一切丰肥的人,必吃喝而敬拜。凡下到尘土中不能存活自己性命的人,都要在他面前下拜。
30他必有后裔事奉他。主所行的事,必传与后代。
31他们必来把他的公义传给将要生的民,言明这事是他所行的。
1My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?Why are you so far away when I groan for help?
2Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer.Every night I lift my voice, but I find no relief.
3Yet you are holy,enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4Our ancestors trusted in you,and you rescued them.
5They cried out to you and were saved.They trusted in you and were never disgraced.
6But I am a worm and not a man.I am scorned and despised by all!
7Everyone who sees me mocks me.They sneer and shake their heads, saying,
8“Is this the one who relies on the Lord?Then let the Lord save him!If the Lord loves him so much,let the Lord rescue him!”
9Yet you brought me safely from my mother’s womband led me to trust you at my mother’s breast.
10I was thrust into your arms at my birth.You have been my God from the moment I was born.
11Do not stay so far from me,for trouble is near,and no one else can help me.
12My enemies surround me like a herd of bulls;fierce bulls of Bashan have hemmed me in!
14My life is poured out like water,and all my bones are out of joint.My heart is like wax,melting within me.
15My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay.My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead.
16My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs;an evil gang closes in on me.They have pierced#22:16 As in some Hebrew manuscripts and Greek and Syriac versions; most Hebrew manuscripts read They are like a lion at. my hands and feet.
17I can count all my bones.My enemies stare at me and gloat.
18They divide my garments among themselvesand throw dice#22:18 Hebrew cast lots. for my clothing.
19O Lord, do not stay far away!You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!
20Save me from the sword;spare my precious life from these dogs.
21Snatch me from the lion’s jawsand from the horns of these wild oxen.
22I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters.#22:22 Hebrew my brothers.I will praise you among your assembled people.
23Praise the Lord, all you who fear him!Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob!Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel!
24For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy.He has not turned his back on them,but has listened to their cries for help.
25I will praise you in the great assembly.I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you.
26The poor will eat and be satisfied.All who seek the Lord will praise him.Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.
27The whole earth will acknowledge the Lord and return to him.All the families of the nations will bow down before him.
28For royal power belongs to the Lord.He rules all the nations.
29Let the rich of the earth feast and worship.Bow before him, all who are mortal,all whose lives will end as dust.
30Our children will also serve him.Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord.
31His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born.They will hear about everything he has done.
