1 Hear my prayer, Yahweh.

Listen to my petitions.

In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

2 Don’t enter into judgment with your servant,

for in your sight no man living is righteous.

3 For the enemy pursues my soul.

He has struck my life down to the ground.

He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me.

My heart within me is desolate.

5 I remember the days of old.

I meditate on all your doings.

I contemplate the work of your hands.

6 I spread out my hands to you.

My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

7 Hurry to answer me, Yahweh.

My spirit fails.

Don’t hide your face from me,

so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning,

for I trust in you.

Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,

for I lift up my soul to you.

9 Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies.

I flee to you to hide me.

10 Teach me to do your will,

for you are my God.

Your Spirit is good.

Lead me in the land of uprightness.

11 Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake.

In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies,

and destroy all those who afflict my soul,

For I am your servant.

1 耶和华啊！ 求你听我的祷告， 留心听我的恳求， 凭你的信实和公义应允我。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）

2 求你不要审判你的仆人， 因为凡活着的人， 在你面前没有一个是义的。

3 仇敌逼迫我， 把我压倒在地， 使我住在黑暗之处， 像死了很久的人一样。

4 因此我的灵在我里面软弱， 我的心在我里面战栗。

5 我追念以往的日子， 默想你的一切作为， 沉思你手所作的。

6 我向你伸出双手， 我的心渴想你， 好像干旱的地盼望雨水一样。（细拉）

7 耶和华啊！ 求你快快应允我， 我的心灵已经衰竭， 求你不要向我掩面， 免得我像那些下坑的人一样。

8 求你使我清晨得闻你的慈爱， 因为我倚靠你。求你指示我当走的路， 因为我的心仰望你。

9 耶和华啊！ 求你救我脱离我的仇敌， 我往你那里藏身。

10 求你教我遵行你的旨意， 因为你是我的 神； 愿你至善的灵引导我到平坦的地。

11 耶和华啊！ 求你为你名的缘故使我存活， 按着你的公义把我从患难中领出来。

12 求你因你的慈爱使我的仇敌灭绝， 求你消灭所有苦害我的人， 因为我是你的仆人。
