祈求引導和赦免

大衛的詩。

25 耶和華啊,我的心仰望你。
我的上帝啊,我信靠你,
求你不要叫我蒙羞,
不要讓我的仇敵勝過我。
信靠你的必不羞愧,
背信棄義者必蒙羞。
耶和華啊,
求你指引我走你的路,
教導我行你的道。
求你以你的真理引領我,
教導我,因為你是拯救我的上帝,
我日夜仰望你。
耶和華啊,
求你顧念你亙古以來常施的憐憫和慈愛,
求你饒恕我年輕時的罪惡和過犯,
以你的恩惠和慈愛待我。
耶和華良善公正,
祂教導罪人走正路,
指引謙卑人追求公義,
教導他們行祂的道。
10 遵守祂的約和法度的人,
耶和華以慈愛和信實相待。
11 耶和華啊,我罪惡深重,
求你為了自己的名而赦免我。
12 凡敬畏耶和華的人,
耶和華必指示他當走的路。
13 他必享福,
他的後代必承受土地。
14 耶和華與敬畏祂的人為友,
使他們認識祂的約。
15 我常常仰望耶和華,
因為唯有祂能救我脫離網羅。

16 耶和華啊,我孤苦零丁,
求你眷顧我,恩待我。
17 我心中充滿愁煩,
求你救我脫離患難。
18 求你體恤我的憂傷和痛苦,
赦免我的罪惡。
19 看啊,我的仇敵眾多,
他們都痛恨我。
20 求你保護、搭救我的性命,
別讓我蒙羞,因為我投靠你。
21 求你以誠實和正義護衛我,
因為我仰望你。
22 上帝啊,
求你救贖以色列脫離一切困境。

A Prayer for God to Guide

Of David.

25 Lord, I give myself to you.
    My God, I trust you.
Do not let me be disgraced.
    Do not let my enemies laugh at me.
No one who trusts you will be disgraced.
    But those who sin without excuse will be disgraced.

Lord, tell me your ways.
    Show me how to live.
Guide me in your truth.
    Teach me, my God, my Savior.
    I trust you all day long.
Lord, remember your mercy and love.
    You have shown them since long ago.
Do not remember the sins
    and wrong things I did when I was young.
But remember to love me always
    because you are good, Lord.

The Lord is good and right.
    He points sinners to the right way.
He shows those who are not proud how to do right.
    He teaches them his ways.
10 All the Lord’s ways are loving and true
    for those who follow the demands of his agreement.
11 For the sake of your name, Lord,
    forgive my many sins.
12 Is there someone who worships the Lord?
    The Lord will point him to the best way.
13 He will enjoy a good life.
    His children will inherit the land.
14 The Lord tells his secrets to those who respect him.
    He tells them about his agreement.
15 My eyes are always looking to the Lord for help.
    He will keep me from any traps.
16 Turn to me and be kind to me.
    I am lonely and hurting.
17 My troubles have grown larger.
    Free me from my problems.
18 Look at my suffering and troubles.
    Take away all my sins.
19 Look at how many enemies I have!
    See how much they hate me!
20 Protect me and save me.
    I trust you.
    Do not let me be disgraced.
21 My hope is in you.
    So may goodness and honesty guard me.
22 God, save Israel from all their troubles!

25 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

A Plea for Deliverance and Forgiveness

A Psalm of David.

25 To (A)You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, I (B)trust in You;
Let me not be ashamed;
(C)Let not my enemies triumph over me.
Indeed, let no one who [a]waits on You be ashamed;
Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

(D)Show me Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.

Remember, O Lord, (E)Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
Do not remember (F)the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
(G)According to Your mercy remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord;
Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
The humble He guides in justice,
And the humble He teaches His way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth,
To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11 (H)For Your name’s sake, O Lord,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

12 Who is the man that fears the Lord?
(I)Him shall [b]He teach in the way He chooses.
13 (J)He himself shall dwell in [c]prosperity,
And (K)his descendants shall inherit the earth.
14 (L)The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,
And He will show them His covenant.
15 (M)My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
For He shall [d]pluck my feet out of the net.

16 (N)Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me,
For I am [e]desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have enlarged;
Bring me out of my distresses!
18 (O)Look on my affliction and my pain,
And forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with [f]cruel hatred.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me;
Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for You.

22 (P)Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all their troubles!
