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）

¹A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer 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。

²Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

³主啊！求你恩待我，因为我终日向你呼求。

³Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.

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, my soul I lift up.

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 forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

⁶耶和华啊！求你侧耳听我的祷告，留心听我的恳求。

⁶Hear, O Jehovah, 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 a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost 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。

⁸There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.

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 that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

¹⁰因为你是伟大的，并且行奇妙的事，只有你是　神。

¹⁰For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself 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。

¹¹Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice 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 confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

¹³因为你向我大施慈爱，你救了我的命，免入阴间的深处。

¹³For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

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 have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed 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。

¹⁵And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness 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。

¹⁶Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a 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。

¹⁷Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
