16 我曾求告你,
別讓他們幸災樂禍,
在我失腳時沾沾自喜。
17 我快要跌倒,
我的痛苦無休無止。
18 我要承認我的罪過,
罪惡使我心裡惴惴不安。
19 我的仇敵勢力強大,
無故恨我的人不計其數。
20 我追求良善,
他們就恨我,以惡報善。
21 耶和華啊,求你不要撇棄我!
我的上帝啊,求你不要遠離我!
22 拯救我的主啊,
求你快來幫助我!

    do not be far(L) from me, my God.

    my Lord and my Savior.(O)

39 我說:「我要謹言慎行,
免犯口舌之罪。
只要身邊有惡人,
我就用嚼環勒住自己的口。」

連好話也不出口時,
內心就更加痛苦。

Psalm 39[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

I said, “I will watch my ways(A)
    and keep my tongue from sin;(B)
