Psalms 86

1 A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.

詠【信靠的祈禱】 達味的祈禱。

2 Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.

上主，求您側耳俯聽我，因為我可憐而又無靠。

3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day.

求您保護我的靈魂，因為我熱愛您，求您保佑您的僕人，因為我仰望您。

4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

您是我的天主，求您憐憫我；上主，因為我時常向您禱告。

5 For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

求您使您的僕人的心靈歡欣。上主，我向您舉起我的心神。

6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications.

我主，因為您又良善又寬仁，凡呼求您的人，您必對他寬仁；

7 In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.

上主，求您俯聽我的祈禱，求您細聽我懇求的禱告。

8 There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.

我在遭難時向您呼喊，因為您一定會俯允我。

9 All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify Thy name.

上主，沒有任何一個神能與您相似，沒有誰的作為能與您的作為相比。

10 For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone.

上主，您所造的萬民一齊來到，他們崇拜您，並宣揚您的名號。

11 Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy name.

因為您是偉大的，獨行奇謀，只是您是惟一無二的天主。

12 I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.

上主，求您教訓我您的途徑，使我照您的真理去行；求您指引我心，敬愛您的名；我的天主，我要全心向您讚頌，上主，我要光榮您的聖名。

13 For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world. (Sheol h7585)

因為您對我的仁愛浩大無邊，救援我的靈魂，免陷極深陰間。 (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them.

天主，驕傲的人起來將我欺凌，蠻橫的一群人想害我的性命，也沒有將您放在他們的眼中。

15 But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

但是上主，您是良善又慈悲的天主，您緩於發怒，極其寬仁又極其忠恕。

16 O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.

求您回顧我，求您憐憫我，將您的能力賜給您的僕役，救拔您婢女所生的兒子！

17 Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

求您將您愛護的記號指示給我，使惱恨我的人看到羞愧難過。因為您緩助了我。
