患难中求助的祷告

上圣殿朝圣之诗。

130 耶和华啊!
我在绝望的深渊中向你呼求。
主啊,求你垂听我的呼求,
侧耳听我的祈求。
主耶和华啊,
倘若你追究我们的罪过,
谁能站得住呢?
然而,你赦免我们,
所以你当受敬畏。

我等候耶和华,一心等候祂,
祂的话语是我的盼望。
我一心等候耶和华,
比守夜的盼望天明还要迫切,
比守夜的盼望天明还要迫切。
以色列啊,要信靠耶和华,
因为祂有慈爱,能完全救赎我们。
祂必把以色列从罪恶中救赎出来。

Psalm 130

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

From the depths of despair, O Lord,
    I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
    Pay attention to my prayer.

Lord, if you kept a record of our sins,
    who, O Lord, could ever survive?
But you offer forgiveness,
    that we might learn to fear you.

I am counting on the Lord;
    yes, I am counting on him.
    I have put my hope in his word.
I long for the Lord
    more than sentries long for the dawn,
    yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
    for with the Lord there is unfailing love.
    His redemption overflows.
He himself will redeem Israel
    from every kind of sin.
