大卫的诗。

求主拯救

  1耶和华啊，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。
   2求你不要审问仆人，
   因为在你面前，凡活着的人没有一个是义的。

   3因为仇敌迫害我，
   将我打倒在地，
  使我住在幽暗之处，
   像死了许久的人一样。
   4我的灵在我里面发昏，
   我的心在我里面颤栗。

   5我追想古时之日，思想你的一切作为，
   默念你手的工作。
   6我向你举手，
   我的心渴想你，如干旱之地盼雨一样。（细拉）

   7耶和华啊，求你速速应允我！
   我的心神耗尽！
  求你不要转脸不顾我，
   免得我像那些下入地府的人一样。
   8求你使我清晨得听你慈爱的声音，
   因我倚靠你；
  求你使我知道当走的路，
   因我的心仰望你。

   9耶和华啊，求你救我脱离我的仇敌！
   我往你那里藏身。
   10求你指教我遵行你的旨意，
   因你是我的上帝；
  愿你至善的灵
   引我到平坦之地。

   11耶和华啊，求你为你名的缘故将我救活，
   凭你的公义，将我从患难中领出来，
   12凭你的慈爱剪除我的仇敌，
   灭绝所有苦待我的人，因我是你的仆人。

A psalm of David.
  1Lord, hear my prayer,
   listen to my cry for mercy;
  in your faithfulness and righteousness
   come to my relief.
  2Do not bring your servant into judgment,
   for no one living is righteous before you.
  3The enemy pursues me,
   he crushes me to the ground;
  he makes me dwell in the darkness
   like those long dead.
  4So my spirit grows faint within me;
   my heart within me is dismayed.
  5I remember the days of long ago;
   I meditate on all your works
   and consider what your hands have done.
  6I spread out my hands to you;
   I thirst for you like a parched land.⚓

   7Answer me quickly, Lord;
   my spirit fails.
  Do not hide your face from me
   or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
  8Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
   for I have put my trust in you.
  Show me the way I should go,
   for to you I entrust my life.
  9Rescue me from my enemies, Lord,
   for I hide myself in you.
  10Teach me to do your will,
   for you are my God;
  may your good Spirit
   lead me on level ground.

  11For your name’s sake, Lord, preserve my life;
   in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
  12In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
   destroy all my foes,
   for I am your servant.
