1A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you! (出2:23; 撒上9:16; 诗18:6; 诗39:12; 诗61:2; 诗142:2)2Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call! (诗18:6; 诗27:9; 诗31:2; 诗56:9; 诗69:17)3For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace. (伯30:30; 诗31:10; 诗37:20; 哀1:13; 雅4:14)4My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread. (撒上1:7; 撒下12:17; 王上21:4; 伯33:20; 诗37:2; 诗121:6; 赛40:7; 雅1:10)5Because of my loud groaning my bones cling to my flesh. (伯19:20)6I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl[1] of the waste places; (伯30:29; 赛34:11; 番2:14)7I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop. (诗77:4)8All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse. (赛65:15; 耶29:22; 徒26:11)9For I eat ashes like bread and mingle tears with my drink, (诗42:3)10because of your indignation and anger; for you have taken me up and thrown me down. (诗51:11; 结3:12; 结3:14)11My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass. (伯8:9; 诗102:4; 诗109:23; 诗144:4)12But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations. (出3:15; 诗9:7; 诗102:26; 诗135:13)13You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come. (诗68:1; 诗75:2; 赛40:2; 赛60:10; 耶29:10; 但9:2; 亚1:12)14For your servants hold her stones dear and have pity on her dust. (尼4:2; 哀4:1)15Nations will fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory. (王上8:43; 诗138:4; 赛59:19; 赛60:3)16For the Lord builds up Zion; he appears in his glory; (诗147:2; 赛60:1)17he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer. (尼1:6; 尼1:11)18Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord: (申31:19; 诗22:31; 诗48:13; 诗78:4; 诗78:6; 赛43:21; 羅15:4; 林前10:1)19that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the Lord looked at the earth, (诗11:4)20to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, (诗79:11)21that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord, and in Jerusalem his praise, (诗22:22)22when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the Lord. (诗22:27; 赛45:14)23He has broken my strength in midcourse; he has shortened my days. (诗89:45)24“O my God,” I say, “take me not away in the midst of my days— you whose years endure throughout all generations!” (伯36:26; 诗90:2; 赛38:10; 哈1:12)25Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. (创1:1; 创2:1; 诗96:5; 來1:10)26They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, (诗102:12; 赛34:4; 赛51:6; 太24:35; 來1:11; 彼后3:7; 彼后3:10; 彼后3:12; 启20:11; 启21:1)27but you are the same, and your years have no end. (赛41:4; 赛48:12; 玛3:6; 來13:8; 雅1:17)28The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you. (诗37:29; 诗69:36; 诗112:2)
