| | 1 | （可拉后裔的诗歌，就是以斯拉人希幔的训诲诗，交与伶长。调用麻哈拉利暗俄。）耶和华拯救我的神阿，我昼夜在你面前呼吁。
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you. | |
| | 2 | 愿我的祷告达到你面前。求你侧耳听我的呼求。
May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry. | |
| | 3 | 因为我心里满了患难，我的性命临近阴间。
For my soul is full of trouble and my life draws near the grave. | |
| | 4 | 我算和下坑的人同列，如同无力的人一样。（无力或作没有帮助）
I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like a man without strength. | |
| | 5 | 我被丢在死人中，好像被杀的人，躺在坟墓里。他们是你不再记念的，与你隔绝了。
I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care. | |
| | 6 | 你把我放在极深的坑里，在黑暗地方，在深处。
You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths. | |
| | 7 | 你的忿怒重压我身。你用一切的波浪困住我。（细拉）
Your wrath lies heavily upon me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves. Selah | |
| | 8 | 你把我所认识的隔在远处，使我为他们所憎恶。我被拘困，不得出来。
You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape; | |
| | 9 | 我的眼睛，因困苦而干瘪。耶和华阿，我天天求告你，向你举手。
my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, O LORD, every day; I spread out my hands to you. | |
| | 10 | 你岂要行奇事给死人看吗？难道阴魂还能起来称赞你吗？（细拉）
Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do those who are dead rise up and praise you? Selah | |
| | 11 | 岂能在坟墓里述说你的慈爱吗？岂能在灭亡中述说你的信实吗？
Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction? | |
| | 12 | 你的奇事，岂能在幽暗里被知道吗？你的公义，岂能在忘记之地被知道吗？
Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion? | |
| | 13 | 耶和华阿，我呼求你。我早晨的祷告要达到你面前。
But I cry to you for help, O LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you. | |
| | 14 | 耶和华阿，你为何丢弃我。为何掩面不顾我。
Why, O LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me? | |
| | 15 | 我自幼受苦，几乎死亡。我受你的惊恐，甚至慌张。
From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death; I have suffered your terrors and am in despair. | |
| | 16 | 你的烈怒漫过我身。你的惊吓，把我剪除。
Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me. | |
| | 17 | 这些终日如水环绕我，一齐都来围困我。
All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me. | |
| | 18 | 你把我的良朋密友隔在远处，使我所认识的人，进入黑暗里。
You have taken my companions and loved ones from me; the darkness is my closest friend. | |
