¹大卫的训诲诗，是在山洞时作的，是一篇祷告。我大声向耶和华呼求，高声向耶和华恳求。

¹An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.

²我在他面前倾吐我的苦情，在他面前陈述我的患难。

²I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.

³我的灵在我里面软弱的时候，你知道我的道路。在我所行的路上，敌人暗设网罗陷害我。

³When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

⁴求你向我右边观看，没有人关心我；我没有逃难的地方，也没有人照顾我。

⁴Looking on the right hand — and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.

⁵耶和华啊！我向你呼求；我说：“你是我的避难所，是我在活人之地的业分。

⁵I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.`

⁶求你留心听我的呼求，因为我落到极卑微的地步；求你救我脱离逼迫我的人，因为他们比我强大。

⁶Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.

⁷求你把我从牢狱中领出来，好让我称赞你的名；义人必环绕着我，因为你以厚恩待我。”

⁷Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
