祈求上帝保護

大衛作的訓誨詩,交給樂長,用弦樂器。

61 上帝啊,求你傾聽我的呼求,
垂聽我的禱告!
我心裡沮喪之時,
從地極呼求你,
求你領我到高高的磐石上。
因為你是我的避難所,
是我抗敵的堅壘。
我要永遠住在你的聖幕裡,
在你翅膀下得蔭庇!(細拉)
上帝啊,你已經聽見我的誓言,
把你賜給敬畏你名之人的產業賜給我。
願你延長王的壽命,
使他的年日恆久。
願他在你的護佑下永遠做王,
求你以慈愛和信實來保護他。
我要永遠歌頌你的名,
天天還我許的願。

(A psalm by David for the music leader. Use with stringed instruments.)

Under the Protection of God

Please listen, God,
    and answer my prayer!
I feel hopeless,
and I cry out to you
    from a faraway land.

Lead me to the mighty rock[a]
    high above me.
You are a strong tower,
where I am safe
    from my enemies.

Let me live with you forever
and find protection
    under your wings, my God.
You heard my promises,
    and you have blessed me,
just as you bless everyone
    who worships you.

Let the king have a long
    and healthy life.
May he always rule
    with you, God, at his side;
may your love and loyalty
    watch over him.

I will sing your praises
forever, God, and will always
    keep my promises.
