¹Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

¹大衛的詩。耶和華啊！我呼求你，求你快來幫助我；我呼求你的時候，求你留心聽我的聲音。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）

²Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

²願我的禱告好像香安放在你面前；願我的手高舉好像獻晚祭。

³Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

³耶和華啊！求你看守我的口，把守我的嘴。

⁴Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

⁴求你不要容我的心偏向惡事，免得我和作孽的人一同行惡，也不要使我吃他們的美食。

⁵Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

⁵願義人擊打我，這是出於慈愛；願他責備我，這是膏我頭的膏油，我的頭不會拒絕。我仍要為惡人的惡行禱告。

⁶When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

⁶他們的官長被摔在山崖下的時候，他們就要聽我的話，因為我的話甘美。

⁷Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

⁷他們說：“我們的骨頭被拋散在墓旁，好像人犁田鋤地時掘起的土塊。”

⁸But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

⁸主耶和華啊！我的眼睛仰望你；我投靠你，求你不要使我喪命。

⁹Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

⁹求你保護我脫離惡人為我所設的網羅，和作孽的人的圈套。

¹⁰Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

¹⁰願惡人都落在自己的網羅裡，我卻得以安然逃脫。
