大衛逃避他兒子押沙龍時所作的詩。求助的晨禱
耶和華啊，我的敵人何其增多！
許多人起來攻擊我。 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2许多人议论我： “他得不到神的帮助。”（细拉）Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3但你－耶和华是我四围的盾牌， 是我的荣耀，又是令我抬起头来的。But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4我用我的声音求告耶和华， 他就从他的圣山上应允我。（细拉）I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5我躺下，我睡觉，我醒来， 耶和华都保佑我。I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6虽有成万的百姓周围攻击我， 我也不惧怕。I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7耶和华啊，求你兴起！ 我的神啊，求你救我！ 因为你打断我所有仇敌的腮骨， 敲碎了恶人的牙齿。Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8救恩属于耶和华； 愿你赐福给你的百姓。（细拉）Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
