祈求上帝保護

大衛作的訓誨詩,交給樂長,用弦樂器。

61 上帝啊,求你傾聽我的呼求,
垂聽我的禱告!
我心裡沮喪之時,
從地極呼求你,
求你領我到高高的磐石上。
因為你是我的避難所,
是我抗敵的堅壘。
我要永遠住在你的聖幕裡,
在你翅膀下得蔭庇!(細拉)
上帝啊,你已經聽見我的誓言,
把你賜給敬畏你名之人的產業賜給我。
願你延長王的壽命,
使他的年日恆久。
願他在你的護佑下永遠做王,
求你以慈愛和信實來保護他。
我要永遠歌頌你的名,
天天還我許的願。

61 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
