在悲苦中呼求 神拯救

大衛的詩,交給詩班長,用絲弦的樂器伴奏,調用“舍明尼”。

耶和華啊!求你不要在烈怒中責備我,

也不要在氣忿中管教我。

耶和華啊!求你恩待我,因為我軟弱;

耶和華啊!求你醫治我,因為我的骨頭發抖。

我的心也大大戰慄,

耶和華啊!要等到幾時呢?

耶和華啊!求你回轉搭救我,

因你慈愛的緣故拯救我。

因為在死亡之地無人記念你,

在陰間有誰稱謝你呢?

我因悲歎而疲憊,

我夜夜流淚,把床漂起,

把床榻浸透。

我因愁煩眼目昏花,

因眾多的仇敵視力衰退。

你們所有作惡的人,離開我去吧,

因為耶和華聽了我哀哭的聲音。

耶和華聽了我的懇求,

耶和華必接納我的禱告。

10 我所有的仇敵都必蒙羞,大大驚惶;

眨眼之間,他們必蒙羞後退。

(A psalm by David for the music leader. Use stringed instruments.[a])

A Prayer in Time of Trouble

(A) Don't punish me, Lord,
or even correct me
    when you are angry!
Have pity on me and heal
    my feeble body.
My bones tremble with fear,
and I am in deep distress.
    How long will it be?

Turn and come to my rescue.
Show your wonderful love
    and save me, Lord.
If I die, I cannot praise you
    or even remember you.
My groaning has worn me out.
At night my bed and pillow
    are soaked with tears.
Sorrow has made my eyes dim,
and my sight has failed
    because of my enemies.

(B) You, Lord, heard my crying,
and those hateful people
    had better leave me alone.
You have answered my prayer
    and my plea for mercy.
10 My enemies will be ashamed
    and terrified,
as they quickly run away
    in complete disgrace.

Psalm 6[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger(A)
    or discipline me in your wrath.
Have mercy on me,(B) Lord, for I am faint;(C)
    heal me,(D) Lord, for my bones are in agony.(E)
My soul is in deep anguish.(F)
    How long,(G) Lord, how long?

Turn,(H) Lord, and deliver me;
    save me because of your unfailing love.(I)
Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
    Who praises you from the grave?(J)

I am worn out(K) from my groaning.(L)

All night long I flood my bed with weeping(M)
    and drench my couch with tears.(N)
My eyes grow weak(O) with sorrow;
    they fail because of all my foes.

Away from me,(P) all you who do evil,(Q)
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;(R)
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;(S)
    they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.(T)

  1. Psalm 6:1 In Hebrew texts 6:1-10 is numbered 6:2-11.
  2. Psalm 6:1 Title: Probably a musical term

O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
