71:1 耶和華啊，我投靠你；求你叫我永不羞愧！
71:2 求你憑你的公義搭救我，救拔我；側耳聽我，拯救我！
71:3 求你作我常住的磐石；你已經命定要救我，因為你是我的巖石，我的山寨。
71:4 我的上帝啊，求你救我脫離惡人的手，脫離不義和殘暴之人的手。
71:5 主─耶和華啊，你是我所盼望的；從我年幼，你是我所倚靠的。
71:6 我從出母胎被你扶持；使我出母腹的是你。我必常常讚美你！
71:7 許多人以我為怪，但你是我堅固的避難所。
71:8 你的讚美，你的榮耀終日必滿了我的口。
71:9 我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我！我力氣衰弱的時候，求你不要離棄我！
71:10 我的仇敵議論我；那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議，
71:11 說：上帝已經離棄他；我們追趕他，捉拿他吧！因為沒有人搭救。
71:12 上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！我的上帝啊，求你速速幫助我！
71:13 願那與我性命為敵的，羞愧被滅；願那謀害我的，受辱蒙羞。
71:14 我卻要常常盼望，並要越發讚美你。
71:15 我的口終日要述說你的公義和你的救恩，因我不計其數。
71:16 我要來說主─耶和華大能的事；我單要提說你的公義。
71:17 上帝啊，自我年幼時，你就教訓我；直到如今，我傳揚你奇妙的作為。
71:18 上帝啊，我到年老髮白的時候，求你不要離棄我！等我將你的能力指示下代，將你的大能指示後世的人。
71:19 上帝啊，你的公義甚高；行過大事的上帝啊，誰能像你！
71:20 你是叫我們多經歷重大急難的，必使我們復活，從地的深處救上來。
71:21 求你使我越發昌大，又轉來安慰我。
71:22 我的上帝啊，我要鼓瑟稱讚你，稱讚你的誠實！以色列的聖者啊，我要彈琴歌頌你！
71:23 我歌頌你的時候，我的嘴唇和你所贖我的靈魂都必歡呼；
71:24 並且我的舌頭必終日講論你的公義，因為那些謀害我的人已經蒙羞受辱了。
1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
let
me never be put to shame.
2 In your righteousness,
rescue me and deliver me;
turn
your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge,
to
which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for
you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, my God,
from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord,
my
confidence since my youth.
6 From birth I have
relied on you;
you
brought me forth from my mother’s womb.
I
will ever praise you.
7 I have become a sign
to many;
you
are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled
with your praise,
declaring
your splendor all day long.
9 Do not cast me away when I am old;
do
not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies speak
against me;
those
who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 They say, “God has
forsaken him;
pursue
him and seize him,
for
no one will rescue him.”
12 Do not be far from
me, my God;
come
quickly, God, to help me.
13 May my accusers
perish in shame;
may those who want to harm me
be
covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 As for me, I will always have hope;
I
will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,
of
your saving acts all day long—
though
I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and
proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;
I
will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God,
you have taught me,
and
to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when I am old
and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your
mighty acts to all who are to come.
19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,
you
who have done great things.
Who
is like you, God?
20 Though you have made
me see troubles,
many and bitter,
you
will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
you
will again bring me up.
21 You will increase my
honor
and comfort me once more.
22 I will praise you with the harp
for
your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing praise to you with the lyre,
Holy
One of Israel.
23 My lips will shout
for joy
when I sing praise to you—
I
whom you have delivered.
24 My tongue will tell
of your righteous acts
all
day long,
for those who wanted to harm me
have
been put to shame and confusion.

人在上帝面前是無法說自己是強壯又沒有過犯的，因為上帝知道我們的本相，明白我們真是罪人，又是軟弱的，我們若沒又上帝的幫助和引導，可以說是非常可憐的！
尤其是最近的疫情非常嚴重，而且病毒傳染力極強，稍不注意防範，人就會被感染！感染之後，人就會遭受到極大的傷害，致死率也很高！一再一再得讓人認識到人的能力真是有限，甚至不知所措！
這個時候，人唯有尋求上帝的幫助，不僅如此我們更像詩人這樣禱告：「你是叫我們多經歷重大急難的，必使我們復活，從地的深處救上來。求你使我越發昌大，又轉來安慰我。」
因此，上帝是我們在面對新冠肺炎的拯救和安慰！雖然現在惡者十分囂張，藉著疫情來攻擊人、奪取人的性命，但是最後的勝利仍然是屬上帝和祂的子民的，因為耶穌基督已經復活、勝過死亡了！
