祈求上帝拯救的祷告

大卫作的诗,交给乐长,调用“百合花”。

69 上帝啊,求你拯救我,
因为洪水快把我淹没;
我深陷泥沼,无法站稳脚;
我落入深渊,被洪流淹没。
我连连呼救,已声嘶力竭;
我期盼上帝的帮助,望眼欲穿。
无故恨我的人不计其数,
无故害我的仇敌势力强大,
逼我偿还我没有偷过的东西。
上帝啊,你知道我的愚昧,
我的罪恶也瞒不过你。
主——万军之耶和华啊,
求你不要使等候你的人因我而受辱;
以色列的上帝啊,
求你不要让信靠你的人因我而蒙羞。
我为了你的缘故遭受辱骂,
羞辱满面。
我的弟兄视我为陌生人,
我的手足看我为外人。
我对你的殿充满炙热的爱,
辱骂你之人的辱骂都落在我身上。
10 我悲伤禁食,
他们就羞辱我。
11 我披上麻衣,
他们就讥笑我。
12 我成了街谈巷议的话题,
醉汉作歌取笑我。

13 可是,耶和华啊,
在你悦纳人的时候,
我向你祷告。
上帝啊,
求你以你的大爱和信实拯救我。
14 求你救我脱离泥沼,
不要让我沉下去;
求你救我脱离恨我的人,
使我离开深渊。
15 求你不要让洪水淹没我,
深渊吞灭我,
坟墓吞噬我。

16 耶和华啊,求你答应我的祷告,
因为你充满慈爱和良善;
求你以无限的怜悯眷顾我。
17 求你不要掩面不理你的仆人。
我正身陷困境,
求你快快答应我。
18 求你前来拯救我,
把我从仇敌手中救赎出来。
19 你知道我受的辱骂、欺凌和羞辱,
你看到了我仇敌的所作所为。
20 他们的辱骂使我心碎,
令我绝望无助。
我渴望有人同情,却没有一个;
期望有人安慰,却无一人。
21 他们给我苦胆当食物,
又拿醋给我解渴。

22 愿他们面前的宴席变为网罗,
成为他们的陷阱。
23 愿他们眼目昏暗,无法看见;
愿他们哆哆嗦嗦,直不起腰来。
24 求你把烈怒倾倒在他们身上,
将怒气撒向他们。
25 愿他们的家园一片荒凉,
愿他们的帐篷无人居住。
26 因为他们迫害你击打过的人,
嘲笑你所打伤之人的痛苦。
27 求你清算他们的种种罪行,
不要让他们有份于你的拯救之恩。
28 愿他们的名字从生命册上被抹去,
不得和义人的名字列在一起。
29 上帝啊,
我陷入痛苦和忧伤,
求你拯救我,保护我。
30 我要用歌声赞美上帝的名,
以感恩的心尊崇祂。
31 这要比献上有蹄有角的公牛等祭牲更讨耶和华喜悦。
32 卑微的人看见这一切就欢喜快乐,
愿你们寻求上帝的人精神振奋。
33 耶和华垂听穷苦人的祈求,
不轻看祂被囚的子民。
34 愿天地都赞美祂,
愿海和其中的一切都赞美祂!
35 因为上帝必拯救锡安,
重建犹大的城邑。
祂的子民要住在那里,
拥有那片土地。
36 祂仆人的后裔要承受那地方为业,
凡爱祂的人都要住在那里。

69 Save me, O God, for the waters have entered even to my soul.

I sink in the deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, and the streams run over me.

I am weary from crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who would destroy me, and are wrongfully my enemies, are mighty. Thus, I restored that which I did not take.

O God, You know my foolishness, and my faults are not hidden from You.

Do not let those who trust in You, O LORD God of Hosts, be ashamed because of me. Do not let those who seek You be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

For Your sake I have suffered reproach; shame has covered my face.

I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons.

For the zeal of Your House has eaten me, and the rebukes of those who rebuked You have fallen upon me.

10 I wept and my soul fasted; but that was to my reproach.

11 I put on sackcloth also; and I became a proverb to them.

12 Those who sit in the gate speak of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.

13 But LORD, I make my prayer to You in an acceptable time, in the multitude of Your mercy. O God, hear me in the truth of Your salvation.

14 Deliver me out of the mire, so that I do not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15 Do not let the flood water drown me or let the deep swallow me up; and do not let the pit shut her mouth upon me.

16 Hear me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good! Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.

17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, for I am in trouble. Hear me quickly.

18 Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Deliver me because of my enemies.

19 You have known my reproach and my shame and my dishonor. All my adversaries are before You.

20 Rebuke has broken my heart and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to have pity, but there was no one; and for comforters, but I found none.

21 For they gave Me gall in My food; and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink.

22 Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperity their ruin.

23 Let their eyes be blinded, so that they do not see; and make their loins tremble always.

24 Pour out Your anger upon them, and let Your wrathful displeasure take them.

25 Let their habitation be desolate; let no one dwell in their tents.

26 For they persecute him whom You have stricken; and they add to the sorrow of those whom You have wounded.

27 Lay iniquity upon their iniquity; and do not let them come into Your righteousness.

28 Let them be put out of the Book of Life. Do not let them be written with the righteous.

29 When I am poor and in heaviness, Your help, O God, shall exalt me.

30 I will praise the Name of God with a song and magnify Him with thanksgiving.

31 This also shall please the LORD better than a young bullock that has horns and hoofs.

32 The humble shall see this; and those who seek God shall be glad; and Your heart shall live.

33 For the LORD hears the poor and does not despise prisoners.

34 Let Heaven and Earth praise Him; the seas and all that moves in them!

35 For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, so that men may dwell there and possess it.

36 Also, the seed of His servants shall inherit it; and those who love His Name shall dwell therein. To him who excels: A Psalm of David, to put in remembrance
