患難中祈求憐憫

大衛的詩,交給樂長,弦樂器伴奏。

耶和華啊,
求你不要在怒中責備我,
不要在烈怒中懲罰我。
耶和華啊,求你憐憫,
因為我軟弱無力。
耶和華啊,求你醫治,
因為我痛徹入骨。
我心中憂傷,
耶和華啊,
你要我憂傷到何時呢?
耶和華啊,求你回來救我,
因你的慈愛而拯救我。
因為死去的人不會記得你,
誰會在陰間讚美你呢?
我因哀歎心力交瘁,
夜夜哭泣,淚漂床榻,
濕透被褥。
我的眼睛因憂愁而模糊,
因敵人的攻擊而昏花。
你們所有作惡的人,快走開!
因為耶和華已經聽見我的哭聲。
耶和華聽見了我的懇求,
祂必答應我的禱告。
10 我所有的仇敵都必羞愧,
驚恐不已;
他們必忽然蒙羞,
掉頭逃竄。

O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. (A)On [a]an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, (B)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, (C)heal me, for my bones are troubled.
My soul also is greatly (D)troubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?

Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
(E)For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?

I am weary with my groaning;
[b]All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
(F)My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.

(G)Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the Lord has (H)heard the voice of my weeping.
The Lord has heard my supplication;
The Lord will receive my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
