流亡异乡者的祷告(二)
神啊,求你为我伸冤, 向不虔诚的国为我辩护; 求你救我脱离诡诈不义的人。Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2你是作我保障☛“作我保障”:七十士译本是“赐我力量”。的神,为何丢弃我呢? 我为何因仇敌的欺压时常哀痛呢?For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3求你发出你的亮光和信实,好引导我, 带我到你的圣山,到你的居所!O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4我就走到神的祭坛, 到赐我喜乐的神那里。 神,我的神啊, 我要弹琴称谢你!Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
5我的心哪,你为何忧闷? 为何在我里面烦躁? 应当仰望神, 我还要称谢他,我当面的拯救,我的神。Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
