1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! (诗31:1; 诗140:6; 约一1:9)2Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you. (王上8:46; 伯9:2; 伯14:3; 伯15:14; 伯25:4; 诗130:3; 传7:20; 羅3:23; 林前4:4)3For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead. (诗88:3; 哀3:6)4Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled. (诗77:3)5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands. (诗77:5; 诗77:11; 诗77:12; 诗111:2)6I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. (伯11:13; 诗42:2; 诗63:1)7Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. (诗27:9; 诗28:1; 诗69:17; 诗84:2; 诗88:4; 诗102:2)8Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. (诗11:1; 诗25:1; 诗25:2; 诗25:4; 诗90:14)9Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord! I have fled to you for refuge.[1] (诗59:1; 诗142:6)10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground! (尼9:20; 诗23:3; 诗27:11; 诗119:12; 赛26:10)11For your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life! In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble! (诗23:3; 诗25:11; 诗71:20; 诗142:7)12And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies, and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul, for I am your servant. (诗54:5; 诗116:16)
