| | 1 | 〔大衛逃避掃羅、藏在洞裡．那時他作這金詩、交與伶長、調用休要毀壞。〕 神阿、求你憐憫我、憐憫我．因為我的心投靠你．我要投靠在你翅膀的蔭下、等到災害過去。
For the director of music. To the tune of"Do Not Destroy." Of David. A miktam. When he had fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. | |
| | 2 | 我要求告至高的 神、就是為我成全諸事的 神。
I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me. | |
| | 3 | 那要吞我的人辱罵我的時候、 神從天上必施恩救我．也必向我發出慈愛和誠實。
He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; Selah God sends his love and his faithfulness. | |
| | 4 | 我的性命在獅子中間．我躺臥在性如烈火的世人當中．他們的牙齒是槍、箭．他們的舌頭是快刀。
I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts--men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. | |
| | 5 | 神阿、願你崇高、過於諸天．願你的榮耀、高過全地。
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. | |
| | 6 | 他們為我的腳設下網羅、壓制我的心．他們在我面前挖了坑、自己反掉在其中。〔細拉〕
They spread a net for my feet--I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path--but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah | |
| | 7 | 神阿、我心堅定、我心堅定．我要唱詩、我要歌頌。
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. | |
| | 8 | 我的靈阿、〔原文作榮耀〕你當醒起、琴瑟阿、你們當醒起．我自己要極早醒起。
Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. | |
| | 9 | 主阿、我要在萬民中稱謝你、在列邦中歌頌你。
I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. | |
| | 10 | 因為你的慈愛、高及諸天．你的誠實、達到穹蒼。
For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. | |
| | 11 | 神阿、願你崇高過於諸天．願你的榮耀、高過全地。
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. | |
