¹大卫的祷告。耶和华啊！求你留心听我、应允我，因为我是困苦贫穷的。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）

¹Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

²求你保护我的性命，因为我是虔诚的人；我的　神啊！求你拯救这倚靠你的仆人。

²Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

³主啊！求你恩待我，因为我终日向你呼求。

³Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

⁴主啊！求你使你的仆人心里欢喜，因为我的心仰望你。

⁴Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁵主啊！你是良善，又乐意饶恕人的，向你呼求的，你都以丰盛的慈爱待他们。

⁵For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

⁶耶和华啊！求你侧耳听我的祷告，留心听我的恳求。

⁶Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁷在我遭难的日子，我要求告你，因为你必应允我。

⁷In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

⁸主啊！在众神之中，没有能和你相比的，你的作为也是无可比拟的。

⁸Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

⁹主啊！你所造的万国都要来，在你面前下拜，他们必荣耀你的名。

⁹All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

¹⁰因为你是伟大的，并且行奇妙的事，只有你是　神。

¹⁰For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

¹¹耶和华啊！求你把你的道路指教我，使我行在你的真理中，专心敬畏你的名。

¹¹Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

¹²主我的　神啊！我要满心称赞你，我要永远荣耀你的名。

¹²I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

¹³因为你向我大施慈爱，你救了我的命，免入阴间的深处。

¹³For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

¹⁴　神啊！骄傲的人起来攻击我，一群强暴的人寻索我的性命，他们不把你放在眼内。

¹⁴O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

¹⁵但是，主啊！你是有怜悯有恩典的　神，你不轻易发怒，并且有极大的慈爱和信实。

¹⁵But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

¹⁶求你转向我，恩待我；把你的能力赐给你的仆人，拯救你婢女的儿子。

¹⁶O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

¹⁷求你向我显出恩待我的记号，好使恨我的人看见了，就觉得羞愧；因为你耶和华帮助了我，安慰了我。

¹⁷Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
