祈求上帝幫助

大衛的詩。

28 耶和華啊,我呼求你;
我的磐石啊,別不理我。
你若默然不語,
我必絕望而死。
我向你呼求,
向你的至聖所舉手禱告時,
求你垂聽。
求你不要把我與奸惡人一同責罰,
他們對鄰居口蜜腹劍。
求你使他們罪有應得,
按他們的惡行,
按他們手上的罪惡報應他們。
他們既然毫不在意耶和華的作為和祂的創造,
祂必永遠毀滅他們。

耶和華當受稱頌!
因為祂聽了我的懇求。
祂是我的力量,我的盾牌。
我信靠祂,就得幫助,
我的心歡喜雀躍,
我要歌唱讚美祂。
耶和華是祂子民的力量,
是祂膏立者得救的堡壘。
耶和華啊,
求你拯救你的子民,
賜福給你揀選的人,
如牧人般照顧他們,
永遠扶持他們。

求耶和华垂听其祈求

28 大卫的诗。

耶和华啊,我要求告你!我的磐石啊,不要向我缄默!倘若你向我闭口,我就如将死的人一样。
我呼求你,向你至圣所举手的时候,求你垂听我恳求的声音。
不要把我和恶人并作孽的一同除掉,他们与邻舍说和平话,心里却是奸恶。
愿你按着他们所做的,并他们所行的恶事待他们。愿你照着他们手所做的待他们,将他们所应得的报应加给他们。
他们既然不留心耶和华所行的和他手所做的,他就必毁坏他们,不建立他们。

颂耶和华因允其求

耶和华是应当称颂的!因为他听了我恳求的声音。

耶和华是我的力量,是我的盾牌,我心里倚靠他,就得帮助。所以我心中欢乐,我必用诗歌颂赞他。
耶和华是他百姓的力量,又是他受膏者得救的保障。
求你拯救你的百姓,赐福给你的产业,牧养他们,扶持他们,直到永远。

28 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
