大衛的紀念詩。交給聖詠團長。求助的祈禱
(詩40.13-17)
神啊,求你快快搭救我!
耶和華啊,求你速速幫助我! Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
2愿那些寻索我命的,抱愧蒙羞; 愿那些喜悦我遭害的,退后受辱。Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3愿那些对我说“啊哈、啊哈”的, 因羞愧退后。Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4愿所有寻求你的,因你欢喜快乐; 愿那些喜爱你救恩的,常说:“当尊神为大!”Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5但我是困苦贫穷的; 神啊,求你速速到我这里来! 你是帮助我的,搭救我的; 耶和华啊,求你不要耽延!But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
