1. 耶和华阿,求你听我的祷告,侧耳听我的恳求,凭你的信实和公义应允我; O Jehovah, hear my prayer; Give ear to my supplications; Answer me in Your faithfulness and in Your righteousness;
2. 求你不要传唤你的仆人去受审,因为在你面前,凡活着的人没有一个是义的。 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one alive is righteous in Your sight.
3. 原来仇敌逼迫我,将我的命压倒在地,使我住在幽暗之处,像死了许久的人一样。 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life down to the ground; He has caused me to dwell in dark places, like those who have been long dead.
4. 所以,我的灵在我里面发昏;我的心在我里面惊惧。 Therefore my spirit faints within me; My heart is appalled in the midst of me.
5. 我追想古时之日,默念你的一切作为,默想你手的工作。 I remember the days of old; I meditate upon all that You have done; I muse upon the work of Your hands.
6. 我向你伸开双手祷告,我的魂渴想你,如干旱之地盼雨一样。 细拉 I spread out my hands to You; My soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
7. 耶和华阿,求你速速应允我;我的灵耗尽。不要向我掩面,免得我像那些下坑的人一样。 Hurry and answer me, O Jehovah; My spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I become like those who go down into the pit.
8. 求你使我清晨得听你的慈爱,因我信靠你。求你使我知道当行的道路,因我的魂仰望你。 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You I trust. Make known to me the way on which I should walk, For to You I lift up my soul.
9. 耶和华阿,求你救我脱离我的仇敌;我逃往你那里避难。 Deliver me from my enemies, O Jehovah; I have fled to You for a refuge.
10. 求你指教我遵行你的旨意,因你是我的神;愿你至善的灵引我到平坦之地。 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me In a plain country.
11. 耶和华阿,求你为你的名将我救活;凭你的公义,将我从患难中领出来; For Your name's sake, O Jehovah, preserve me alive; In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12. 凭你的慈爱剪除我的仇敌,灭绝一切欺压我的人,因我是你的仆人。 And in Your lovingkindness cut off my enemies And destroy all those who oppress my soul, For I am Your servant.
