求助的晚禱

大衛的詩,交給樂長,弦樂器伴奏。

稱我為義人的上帝啊!
我呼求的時候,求你回答。
你曾救我脫離困境,
現在求你憐憫我,
垂聽我的禱告。
世人啊!你們把我的榮耀變為羞辱要到何時呢?
你們追求虛謊之事要到何時呢?(細拉)
要知道,耶和華已經把敬虔人分別出來,使之聖潔,歸祂自己。
祂必垂聽我的祈求。
不要因生氣而犯罪;
躺在床上的時候要默然思想。(細拉)
要獻上當獻的祭物,
信靠耶和華。
許多人說:「誰會善待我們呢?」
耶和華啊,
求你的聖容光照我們。
你使我比那收穫五穀新酒的人更喜樂。
只有你耶和華使我安然居住,
我必高枕無憂。

你曾救我脱离困境,
现在求你怜悯我,
垂听我的祷告。
世人啊!你们把我的荣耀变为羞辱要到何时呢?

An Evening Prayer

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A song of David.

Answer me when I pray to you,
    my God who does what is right.
Lift the load that I carry.
    Be kind to me and hear my prayer.

People, how long will you turn my honor into shame?
    You love what is false, and you look for new lies. Selah
You know that the Lord has chosen for himself those who are loyal to him.
    The Lord listens when I pray to him.
When you are angry, do not sin.
    Think about these things quietly
    as you go to bed. Selah
Do what is right as a sacrifice to the Lord.
    And trust the Lord.

Many people ask,
    “Who will give us anything good?
    Lord, be kind to us.”
But you have made me very happy.
    I am happier than they are,
    even with all their grain and wine.
I go to bed and sleep in peace.
    Lord, only you keep me safe.
