1 A Prayer. Of David. Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.
2 Keep my soul, for I am true to you; O my God, give salvation to your servant, whose hope is in you.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord; for my cry goes up to you all the day.
4 Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord.
5 You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.
6 O Lord, give ear to my prayer; and take note of the sound of my requests.
7 In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer.
8 There is no god like you, O Lord; there are no works like your works.
9 Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.
10 For you are great, and do great works of wonder; you only are God.
11 Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your name.
12 I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.
13 For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld.
14 O God, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you before them.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.
16 O be turned to me and have mercy on me: give your strength to your servant, and your salvation to the son of her who is your servant.
17 Give me a sign for good; so that my haters may see it and be shamed; because you, Lord, have been my help and comfort.
1 耶和华啊！ 求你留心听我、应允我， 因为我是困苦贫穷的。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
2 求你保护我的性命， 因为我是虔诚的人； 我的 神啊！ 求你拯救这倚靠你的仆人。
3 主啊！ 求你恩待我， 因为我终日向你呼求。
4 主啊！ 求你使你的仆人心里欢喜， 因为我的心仰望你。
5 主啊！ 你是良善， 又乐意饶恕人的， 向你呼求的， 你都以丰盛的慈爱待他们。
6 耶和华啊！ 求你侧耳听我的祷告， 留心听我的恳求。
7 在我遭难的日子， 我要求告你， 因为你必应允我。
8 主啊！ 在众神之中， 没有能和你相比的， 你的作为也是无可比拟的。
9 主啊！ 你所造的万国都要来， 在你面前下拜， 他们必荣耀你的名。
10 因为你是伟大的， 并且行奇妙的事， 只有你是 神。
11 耶和华啊！ 求你把你的道路指教我， 使我行在你的真理中， 专心敬畏你的名。
12 主我的 神啊！ 我要满心称赞你， 我要永远荣耀你的名。
13 因为你向我大施慈爱， 你救了我的命， 免入阴间的深处。
14 神啊！ 骄傲的人起来攻击我， 一群强暴的人寻索我的性命， 他们不把你放在眼内。
15 但是， 主啊！ 你是有怜悯有恩典的 神， 你不轻易发怒， 并且有极大的慈爱和信实。
16 求你转向我， 恩待我； 把你的能力赐给你的仆人， 拯救你婢女的儿子。
17 求你向我显出恩待我的记号， 好使恨我的人看见了， 就觉得羞愧； 因为你耶和华帮助了我， 安慰了我。
