Psalm 22
Common English Bible
Psalm 22
For the music leader. According to the “Doe of Dawn.” A psalm of David.
22 My God! My God,
why have you left me all alone?
Why are you so far from saving me—
so far from my anguished groans?
2 My God, I cry out during the day,
but you don’t answer;
even at nighttime I don’t stop.
3 You are the holy one, enthroned.
You are Israel’s praise.
4 Our ancestors trusted you—
they trusted you and you rescued them;
5 they cried out to you and they were saved;
they trusted you and they weren’t ashamed.
6 But I’m just a worm, less than human;
insulted by one person, despised by another.
7 All who see me make fun of me—
they gape, shaking their heads:
8 “He committed himself to the Lord,
so let God rescue him;
let God deliver him
because God likes him so much.”
9 But you are the one who pulled me from the womb,
placing me safely at my mother’s breasts.
10 I was thrown on you from birth;
you’ve been my God
since I was in my mother’s womb.
11 Please don’t be far from me,
because trouble is near
and there’s no one to help.
12 Many bulls surround me;
mighty bulls from Bashan encircle me.
13 They open their mouths at me
like a lion ripping and roaring!
14 I’m poured out like water.
All my bones have fallen apart.
My heart is like wax;
it melts inside me.
15 My strength is dried up
like a piece of broken pottery.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you’ve set me down in the dirt of death.
16 Dogs surround me;
a pack of evil people circle me like a lion—
oh, my poor hands and feet!
17 I can count all my bones!
Meanwhile, they just stare at me, watching me.
18 They divvy up my garments among themselves;
they cast lots for my clothes.
19 But you, Lord! Don’t be far away!
You are my strength!
Come quick and help me!
20 Deliver me[a] from the sword.
Deliver my life from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion.
From the horns of the wild oxen
you have answered me!
22 I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
I will praise you in the very center of the congregation!
23 All of you who revere the Lord—praise him!
All of you who are Jacob’s descendants—honor him!
All of you who are all Israel’s offspring—
stand in awe of him!
24 Because he didn’t despise or detest
the suffering of the one who suffered—
he didn’t hide his face from me.
No, he listened when I cried out to him for help.
25 I offer praise in the great congregation
because of you;
I will fulfill my promises
in the presence of those who honor God.
26 Let all those who are suffering eat and be full!
Let all who seek the Lord praise him!
I pray your hearts live forever!
27 Every part of the earth
will remember and come back to the Lord;
every family among all the nations will worship you.
28 Because the right to rule belongs to the Lord,
he rules all nations.
29 Indeed, all the earth’s powerful
will worship him;[b]
all who are descending to the dust
will kneel before him;
my being also lives for him.[c]
30 Future descendants will serve him;
generations to come will be told about my Lord.
31 They will proclaim God’s righteousness
to those not yet born,
telling them what God has done.

诗篇 22
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
苦难中的呼求和感恩
大卫的诗，交给乐长，调用“朝鹿”。
22 我的上帝，我的上帝，
你为何离弃我？
为何迟迟不来救我，
不听我的哀号呢？
2 我的上帝啊，
我日夜不停地呼求，
你却没有回应。
3 然而，你是圣洁的，
你的宝座设立在以色列人的颂赞之上。
4 我们的祖先信靠你，
他们信靠你，
你就拯救他们。
5 他们向你呼求，
就得到拯救；
他们信靠你，
就不会失望。
6 但我好像不是人，只是一条虫，
受尽人的羞辱和藐视。
7 看见我的人都讥笑我，
他们撇着嘴、摇着头说：
8 “他信靠耶和华，
让耶和华救他吧！
既然耶和华喜悦他，
让耶和华拯救他吧！”
9 耶和华啊，
是你使我从母腹中安然出生，
让我在母亲怀里便倚靠你。
10 我一出生就被交托在你手中，
你从我出母胎就是我的上帝。
11 求你不要远离我，
因为危难当头，无人帮我。
12 我被许多仇敌围困，
他们像巴珊的公牛那样强壮。
13 他们张口要吞噬我，
如同吼叫着撕食猎物的狮子。
14 我的力量如水消逝，
我的骨头都脱了节，
我的心如蜡熔化。
15 我的力量枯竭如焦土，
我的舌头发干紧贴上颚。
你把我放在死亡的尘土中。
16 恶人包围我，犹如一群恶犬，
他们刺伤我的手脚。
17 我身上的骨头历历可见，
人们都幸灾乐祸地看着我。
18 他们分我的外衣，
又为我的内衣抽签。
19 耶和华啊，求你不要远离我。
你是我的力量，
求你快来帮助我。
20 求你救我逃脱刀剑之灾，
从这些恶犬的利爪下拯救我的生命。
21 求你救我脱离狮子的口，
使我脱离野牛的角。
22 我要向众弟兄传扬你的名，
在会众当中赞美你。
23 敬畏耶和华的人啊，
你们都要赞美祂，
雅各的后裔都要尊崇祂的名，
以色列的后裔都要敬畏祂。
24 因为祂没有藐视、厌恶苦难中的人，
也没有掩面不顾他们，
而是垂听他们的呼求。
25 我要在大会中赞美你，
在敬畏你的人面前履行我的誓言。
26 穷苦人必得饱足，
寻求耶和华的人必赞美祂，
他们的心要永远欢欣跳跃。
27 普世都要心系耶和华，归向祂，
各国人民都要敬拜祂。
28 因为耶和华是主宰，
祂统治列国。
29 世上的富贵人要敬拜祂，
必归尘土的世人都要敬拜祂。
30 世世代代的人都要事奉祂，
传扬主所行的奇事。
31 他们也要向未来的世代传讲祂的公义作为。
