大衛的祈禱。求主恩助
耶和華啊，求你側耳應允我，
因我是困苦貧窮的。 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2求你保住我的性命，因我是虔诚的人。 我的神啊，求你拯救我这倚靠你的仆人！Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3主啊，求你怜悯我， 因我终日求告你。Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4主啊，求你使你的仆人心里欢喜， 因为我的心仰望你。Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5主啊，你本为良善，乐于饶恕人， 以丰盛的慈爱对待凡求告你的人。For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6耶和华啊，求你侧耳听我的祷告， 留心听我恳求的声音。Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7我在患难之日要求告你， 因为你必应允我。In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8主啊，诸神之中没有可与你相比的， 你的作为也无以为比。Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9主啊，你所造的万民都要来敬拜你， 他们要荣耀你的名。All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10因你本为大，且行奇妙的事， 惟独你是神。For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11耶和华啊，求你将你的道指教我， 我要照你的真理而行； 求你使我专心敬畏你的名！Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12主－我的神啊，我要一心称谢你； 我要荣耀你的名，直到永远。I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13因为你的慈爱在我身上浩大， 你救了我的性命免入阴间的深处。For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14神啊，骄傲的人起来攻击我， 又有一群强横的人寻索我的命； 他们没有将你放在眼里。O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15主啊，你是有怜悯，有恩惠的神， 不轻易发怒，并有丰盛的慈爱和信实。But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16求你转向我，怜悯我， 将你的力量赐给仆人，拯救你使女的儿子。O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17求你向我显出恩待我的凭据， 使恨我的人看见就羞愧， 因为你－耶和华帮助我，安慰了我。Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
