患难中祈求怜悯

大卫的诗,交给乐长,弦乐器伴奏。

耶和华啊,
求你不要在怒中责备我,
不要在烈怒中惩罚我。
耶和华啊,求你怜悯,
因为我软弱无力。
耶和华啊,求你医治,
因为我痛彻入骨。
我心中忧伤,
耶和华啊,
你要我忧伤到何时呢?
耶和华啊,求你回来救我,
因你的慈爱而拯救我。
因为死去的人不会记得你,
谁会在阴间赞美你呢?
我因哀叹心力交瘁,
夜夜哭泣,泪漂床榻,
湿透被褥。
我的眼睛因忧愁而模糊,
因敌人的攻击而昏花。
你们所有作恶的人,快走开!
因为耶和华已经听见我的哭声。
耶和华听见了我的恳求,
祂必答应我的祷告。
10 我所有的仇敌都必羞愧,
惊恐不已;
他们必忽然蒙羞,
掉头逃窜。

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.
