【靠上主的祈禱】上主，我向你把我的心舉起，
2 My God, I trust in you. Do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies rejoice triumphantly over me.
我的天主，我全心要倚靠你。求你不要使我蒙受羞恥，不要容許我的仇人歡喜。
3 May no one who hopes in you be disgraced may those who act treacherously without cause be ashamed!
凡期望你的人絕不會蒙羞，唯冒昧失信人才會受辱。
4 Make known to me your ways, Yahweh; teach me your paths.
上主，求你使我認識你的法度，並求你教訓我履行你的道路。
5 Guide me into your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I hope in you all day long.
還求你教訓我；引我進入真理之路，我終日仰望你，因你是救我的天主。
6 Call to mind, Yahweh, your acts of compassion and of covenant faithfulness; for they have always existed.
上主，求你憶及的仁慈和恩愛，因為它們由亙古以來就常存在。
7 Do not think about the sins of my youth or my rebelliousness; Call me to mind with covenant faithfulness because of your goodness, Yahweh!
我青春的罪愆和過犯，求你要追念；上主，求你紀念我，照你的仁慈和良善。
8 Yahweh is good and upright; therefore he teaches sinners the way.
因為上主仁慈又正直，常領迷途者歸回正路，
9 He guides the humble in what is right and he teaches them his way.
引導謙卑者遵守正義，教善良者走入正途。
10 All the paths of Yahweh are steadfast love and faithfulness to those who keep his covenant and his solemn commands.
對待持守上主的盟約和誡命的人，上主的一切行徑常是慈愛和忠誠。
11 For your name's sake, Yahweh, pardon my sin, for it is great.
上主，為了你聖名的緣故，求你赦免我重大的愆尤。
12 Who is the man who fears Yahweh? The Lord will instruct him in the way that he should choose.
不論是誰，只要他敬愛上主，上主必指示他應選的道路，
13 His life will go along in goodness; and his descendants will inherit the land.
他的心靈必要安享幸福，他的後裔必能承繼領土。
14 The friendship of Yahweh is for those who honor him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
上主親近敬愛自己的人民，也使他們認識自己的誓盟。
15 My eyes are always on Yahweh, for he will free my feet from the net.
我的眼睛不斷地向上主瞻仰，因為祂使我的雙腳脫離羅網。
16 Turn toward me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and afflicted.
求你回顧，求你憐憫，因為我是孤苦伶仃。
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; draw me out from my distress!
求你減輕我心的苦難，救我脫離我的憂患；
18 See my affliction and my toils; forgive all my sins.
垂視我的勞苦和可憐，赦免我犯的一切罪愆。
19 See my enemies, for they are many; they hate me with cruel hatred.
請看我的仇敵如何眾多，他們都兇狠地痛恨著我。
20 Protect my life and rescue me; do not let me be humiliated, for I take refuge in you!
求你保謢我的生命，向我施救，別叫我因投奔你而蒙受羞辱。
21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I hope in you.
願清白和正直護衛我！上主，因我唯有仰望你。
