¹I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

¹大衛的詩，交給詩班長。我曾切切等候耶和華；他轉向我，聽了我的呼求。

²He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

²他把我從荒蕪的坑裡，從泥沼中拉上來；他使我的腳站在磐石上，又使我的腳步穩定。

³And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

³他使我口唱新歌，讚美我們的　神；許多人看見了，就必懼怕，並且要倚靠耶和華。

⁴Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

⁴那倚靠耶和華，不轉向高傲和偏向虛謊的人的，這人是有福的。

⁵Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

⁵耶和華我的　神啊！你所行的奇事，並你向我們所懷的意念很多，沒有人可以和你相比；如果我要述說陳明，也多到不能勝數。

⁶Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

⁶祭品和禮物不是你喜悅的。你開通了我的耳朵；燔祭和贖罪祭，不是你要求的。

⁷Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

⁷那時我說：“看哪！我來了，經卷上已經記載我的事；

⁸I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

⁸我的　神啊！我樂意遵行你的旨意；你的律法常在我的心裡。”

⁹I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

⁹我要在大會中傳揚公義的福音；我必不禁止我的嘴唇；耶和華啊！這是你知道的。

¹⁰I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

¹⁰我沒有把你的公義隱藏在心裡；我已經述說了你的信實和救恩；在大會中，我沒有隱瞞你的慈愛和誠實。

¹¹Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

¹¹耶和華啊！求你的憐憫不要向我止息；願你的慈愛和誠實常常保護我。

¹²For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

¹²因有無數的禍患圍繞著我；我的罪孽追上了我，使我不能看見；它們比我的頭髮還多，以致我心驚膽戰。

¹³Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

¹³耶和華啊！求你開恩搭救我；耶和華啊！求你快來幫助我。

¹⁴Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

¹⁴願那些尋找我，要毀滅我命的，一同抱愧蒙羞；願那些喜悅我遭害的，退後受辱。

¹⁵Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

¹⁵願那些對我說：“啊哈！啊哈！”的，都因羞愧而驚惶。

¹⁶Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

¹⁶願所有尋求你的，都因你歡喜快樂；願那些喜愛你救恩的，常說：“要尊耶和華為大。”

¹⁷But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

¹⁷至於我，我是困苦貧窮的；主仍顧念我。你是我的幫助，我的拯救；我的　神啊！求你不要耽延。
