   Oh, do not forsake me utterly!

  123我因盼望你的救恩
   和你公义的言语眼睛失明。
  124求你照你的慈爱待仆人,
   将你的律例教导我。
  125我是你的仆人,求你赐我悟性,
   得以认识你的法度。
  126这是耶和华采取行动的时候,
   因人废弃了你的律法。
  127所以,我喜爱你的命令胜于金子,
   更胜于纯金。
  128你的一切训词,在万事上我都以为正直;
   我恨恶一切虚假的行径。

渴慕遵行耶和华的律法

  129你的法度奇妙,
   所以我一心谨守。
  130你的话一开启就发出亮光,
   使愚蒙人通达。
  131我大大张口,呼吸急促,
   因我切慕你的命令。
  132求你转向我,怜悯我,
   就像你待那些喜爱你名的人。
  133求你用你的言语使我脚步稳健,
   不容罪孽辖制我。
  134求你救我脱离人的欺压,
   我要遵守你的训词。
  135求你使你的脸向仆人发光,
   又将你的律例教导我。
  136我的眼睛流泪成河,
   因为他们不守你的律法。

耶和华律法的公正

  137耶和华啊,你是公义的;
   你的典章正直!
  138你所颁布的法度是公义的,
   极其可靠。
  139我的狂热把我烧灭,
   因我敌人忘记你的话。
  140你的言语极其精炼,
   令你仆人喜爱。
  141我渺小,被人藐视,
   却不忘记你的训词。
  142你的公义永远公义,
   你的律法是确实的。
  143我遭遇患难愁苦,
   你的命令是我的喜乐。
  144你的法度永远公义;
   求你赐我悟性,使我存活。

求主解救

  145耶和华啊,我一心呼求你,求你应允我!
   我必谨守你的律例。
  146我向你呼求,求你救我!
   我要遵守你的法度。
  147天尚未亮我呼喊求救,
   我仰望你的话。
  148我终夜双眼睁开,
   为要思想你的言语。
  149求你按你的慈爱听我的声音,
   耶和华啊,求你照你的典章将我救活!
  150追逐奸恶的人迫近了,
   他们远离你的律法。
  151耶和华啊,你就在我身边,
   你一切的命令是确实的!
  152我从你的法度早已知道,
   这法度是你永远立定的。

请求恩助

  153求你看顾我的苦难,搭救我,
   因我不忘记你的律法。
  154求你为我的冤屈辩护,救赎我,
   照你的言语将我救活。
  155救恩远离恶人,
   因为他们不寻求你的律例。
  156耶和华啊,你的怜悯本为大;
   求你照你的典章将我救活。
  157迫害我的、抵挡我的甚多,
   我却没有偏离你的法度。
  158我看见奸恶的人就憎恶,
   因为他们不遵守你的言语。
  159你看我何等喜爱你的训词!
   耶和华啊,求你按你的慈爱将我救活!
  160你话语的精髓是真实的,
   你一切公义的典章永远长存。

热爱耶和华的律法

  161掌权者无故迫害我,
   然而我的心畏惧你的话。
  162我喜爱你的言语,
   好像人得到许多战利品。
  163我恨恶,憎恶虚假;
   惟喜爱你的律法。
  164我因你公义的典章
   一天七次赞美你。
  165喜爱你律法的人大有平安,
   任何事都不能使他们跌倒。
  166耶和华啊,我仰望你的救恩,
   遵行你的命令。
  167我心谨守你的法度,
   这法度我极其喜爱。
  168我遵守你的训词和法度,
   因我所行的道路都在你的面前。

求主帮助

  169耶和华啊,愿我的呼求达到你面前,
   求你照你的话赐我悟性。
  170愿我的恳求达到你面前,
   求你照你的言语搭救我。
  171愿我的嘴唇发出赞美,
   因为你将律例教导我。
  172愿我的舌头歌唱你的言语,
   因你一切的命令尽都公义。
  173求你用你的手帮助我,
   因我选择你的训词。
  174耶和华啊,我切慕你的救恩!
   你的律法是我的喜乐。
  175愿我的性命存活,得以赞美你!
   愿你的典章帮助我!
  176我走迷了路如同失丧的羊,求你寻找你的仆人,
   因我不忘记你的命令。
