1大衛的詩。耶和華啊！求你聽我的禱告，留心聽我的懇求，憑你的信實和公義應允我。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）
1Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
2求你不要審判你的僕人，因為凡活著的人，在你面前沒有一個是義的。
2Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
3仇敵逼迫我，把我壓倒在地，使我住在黑暗之處，像死了很久的人一樣。
3For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
4因此我的靈在我裡面軟弱，我的心在我裡面戰慄。
4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
5我追念以往的日子，默想你的一切作為，沉思你手所作的。
5I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
6我向你伸出雙手，我的心渴想你，好像乾旱的地盼望雨水一樣。（細拉）
6I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.
7耶和華啊！求你快快應允我，我的心靈已經衰竭，求你不要向我掩面，免得我像那些下坑的人一樣。
7Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
8求你使我清晨得聞你的慈愛，因為我倚靠你。求你指示我當走的路，因為我的心仰望你。
8Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
9耶和華啊！求你救我脫離我的仇敵，我往你那裡藏身。
9Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
10求你教我遵行你的旨意，因為你是我的 神；願你至善的靈引導我到平坦的地。
10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11耶和華啊！求你為你名的緣故使我存活，按著你的公義把我從患難中領出來。
11Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12求你因你的慈愛使我的仇敵滅絕，求你消滅所有苦害我的人，因為我是你的僕人。
12In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
