Psalms 44
神啊,你在古时, 我们列祖的日子所行的事, 我们亲耳听见了; 我们的列祖也给我们述说过。
shén a , nǐ zài gǔ shí , wǒ men liè zǔ de rì zi suǒ xíng de shì , wǒ men qīn ěr tīng jiàn le ; wǒ men de liè zǔ yě gěi wǒ men shù shuō guò 。
We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
你曾用手赶出外邦人, 却栽培了我们列祖; 你苦待列邦, 却叫我们列祖发达。
nǐ céng yòng shǒu gǎn chū wài bāng rén , què zāi péi le wǒ men liè zǔ ; nǐ kǔ dài liè bāng , què jiào wǒ men liè zǔ fā dá 。
You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
因为他们不是靠自己的刀剑得地土, 也不是靠自己的膀臂得胜, 乃是靠你的右手、你的膀臂, 和你脸上的亮光, 因为你喜悦他们。
yīn wèi tā men bú shì kào zì jǐ de dāo jiàn dé dì tǔ , yě bú shì kào zì jǐ de bǎng bì dé shèng , nǎi shì kào nǐ de yòu shǒu 、 nǐ de bǎng bì , hé nǐ liǎn shàng de liàng guāng , yīn wèi nǐ xǐ yuè tā men 。
For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
神啊,你是我的王; 求你出令使雅各得胜。
shén a , nǐ shì wǒ de wáng ; qiú nǐ chū lìng shǐ yǎ gè dé shèng 。
God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
我们靠你要推倒我们的敌人, 靠你的名要践踏那起来攻击我们的人。
wǒ men kào nǐ yào tuī dǎo wǒ men de dí rén , kào nǐ de míng yào jiàn tà nà qǐ lái gōng jī wǒ men de rén 。
Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
因为,我必不靠我的弓; 我的刀也不能使我得胜。
yīn wèi , wǒ bì bú kào wǒ de gōng ; wǒ de dāo yě bù néng shǐ wǒ dé shèng 。
For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
惟你救了我们脱离敌人, 使恨我们的人羞愧。
wéi nǐ jiù le wǒ men tuō lí dí rén , shǐ hèn wǒ men de rén xiū kuì 。
But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
我们终日因 神夸耀, 还要永远称谢你的名。 (细拉)
wǒ men zhōng rì yīn shén kuā yào , hái yào yǒng yuǎn chēng xiè nǐ de míng 。 ( xì lā )
In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
但如今你丢弃了我们,使我们受辱, 不和我们的军兵同去。
dàn rú jīn nǐ diū qì le wǒ men , shǐ wǒ men shòu rǔ , bù hé wǒ men de jūn bīng tóng qù 。
But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.
你使我们向敌人转身退后; 那恨我们的人任意抢夺。
nǐ shǐ wǒ men xiàng dí rén zhuǎn shēn tuì hòu ; nà hèn wǒ men de rén rèn yì qiǎng duó 。
You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
你使我们当作快要被吃的羊, 把我们分散在列邦中。
nǐ shǐ wǒ men dàng zuò kuài yào bèi chī de yáng , bǎ wǒ men fēn sàn zài liè bāng zhōng 。
You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
你卖了你的子民也不赚利, 所得的价值并不加添你的资财。
nǐ mài le nǐ de zǐ mín yě bú zhuàn lì , suǒ dé de jià zhí bìng bù jiā tiān nǐ de zī cái 。
You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
你使我们受邻国的羞辱, 被四围的人嗤笑讥刺。
nǐ shǐ wǒ men shòu lín guó de xiū rǔ , bèi sì wéi de rén chī xiào jī cì 。
You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
你使我们在列邦中作了笑谈, 使众民向我们摇头。
nǐ shǐ wǒ men zài liè bāng zhōng zuò le xiào tán , shǐ zhòng mín xiàng wǒ men yáo tóu 。
You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
我的凌辱终日在我面前, 我脸上的羞愧将我遮蔽,
wǒ de líng rǔ zhōng rì zài wǒ miàn qián , wǒ liǎn shàng de xiū kuì jiāng wǒ zhē bì ,
All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
都因那辱骂毁谤人的声音, 又因仇敌和报仇人的缘故。
dōu yīn nà rǔ mà huǐ bàng rén de shēng yīn , yòu yīn chóu dí hé bào chóu rén de yuán gù 。
at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
这都临到我们身上, 我们却没有忘记你, 也没有违背你的约。
zhè dōu lín dào wǒ men shēn shàng , wǒ men què méi yǒu wàng jì nǐ , yě méi yǒu wéi bèi nǐ de yuē 。
All this has come on us, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.
我们的心没有退后; 我们的脚也没有偏离你的路。
wǒ men de xīn méi yǒu tuì hòu ; wǒ men de jiǎo yě méi yǒu piān lí nǐ de lù 。
Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
你在野狗之处压伤我们, 用死荫遮蔽我们。
nǐ zài yě gǒu zhī chù yā shāng wǒ men , yòng sǐ yìn zhē bì wǒ men 。
though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
倘若我们忘了 神的名, 或向别神举手,
tǎng ruò wǒ men wàng le shén de míng , huò xiàng bié shén jǔ shǒu ,
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,
神岂不鉴察这事吗? 因为他晓得人心里的隐秘。
shén qǐ bú jiàn chá zhè shì ma ? yīn wèi tā xiǎo de rén xīn lǐ de yǐn mì 。
won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
我们为你的缘故终日被杀; 人看我们如将宰的羊。
wǒ men wèi nǐ de yuán gù zhōng rì bèi shā ; rén kàn wǒ men rú jiāng zǎi de yáng 。
Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
主啊,求你睡醒,为何尽睡呢? 求你兴起,不要永远丢弃我们!
zhǔ a , qiú nǐ shuì xǐng , wèi hé jìn shuì ne ? qiú nǐ xīng qǐ , bú yào yǒng yuǎn diū qì wǒ men !
Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.
你为何掩面, 不顾我们所遭的苦难和所受的欺压?
nǐ wèi hé yǎn miàn , bú gù wǒ men suǒ zāo de kǔ nàn hé suǒ shòu de qī yā ?
Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
我们的性命伏于尘土; 我们的肚腹紧贴地面。
wǒ men de xìng mìng fú yú chén tǔ ; wǒ men de dù fù jǐn tiē dì miàn 。
For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.
求你起来帮助我们! 凭你的慈爱救赎我们!
qiú nǐ qǐ lái bāng zhù wǒ men ! píng nǐ de cí ài jiù shú wǒ men !
Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.
