1Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
1大衛的金詩，交給詩班長，調用“休要毀壞”，是大衛躲在山洞裡逃避掃羅時作的。 神啊，求你恩待我！求你恩待我！因為我投靠你；我要投靠在你翅膀的蔭下，直到災害過去。
2I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
2我要向至高的 神呼求，就是向為我成就他旨意的 神呼求。
3He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
3 神從天上施恩拯救我，斥責那踐踏我的人；（細拉） 神必向我發出他的慈愛和信實。
4My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
4我躺臥在獅子中間，就是在那些想吞滅人的世人中間；他們的牙齒是槍和箭，他們的舌頭是快刀。
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
5 神啊！願你被尊崇，過於諸天；願你的榮耀遍及全地。
6They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
6他們為我的腳設下了網羅，使我低頭屈服；他們在我面前挖了坑，自己反掉進坑中。（細拉）
7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
7 神啊！我的心堅定，我的心堅定；我要歌唱，我要頌讚。
8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
8我的靈（“靈”或譯：“榮耀”或“肝”；與16:9，30:12，108:1同）啊！你要醒過來。琴和瑟啊！你們都要醒過來。我也要喚醒黎明。
9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
9主啊！我要在萬民中稱謝你，在萬族中歌頌你。
10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
10因為你的慈愛偉大，高及諸天，你的信實上達雲霄。
11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
11 神啊！願你被尊崇，過於諸天；願你的榮耀遍及全地。
