「若是我，就向上帝求助，向祂陳明苦衷。

“至于我，我必仰望神，把我的事情托付他。

“至于我，我必寻求上帝，把我的事情交托给他。

“至于我，我必寻求神，把我的事情交托给他。

“若是我，就向上帝求助，向祂陈明苦衷。

至于我，我必寻求神，向他陈明我的案件。

至於我，我必仰望神，把我的事情託付他。

「至於我，我必尋求上帝，把我的事情交託給他。

「至於我，我必尋求神，把我的事情交託給他。

至於我，我必尋求神，向他陳明我的案件。

『但是我呢、我總要尋求上帝，將我的事情託付於上帝；

若我、則必仰望上帝、以事託之、

是以必求上帝而赴訴焉。

若我、則必求天主、於天主前呈訴我事、

“ But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.

“ If I were you, I’d make my appeal to God. I’d bring my case to be judged by him.

“ As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause,

“ If I were you, I would go to God and present my case to him.

However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him.

“ But as for me, I would seek God, And I would make my plea before God,

“ But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause—

But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;

However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to Him.

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

“ But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would set forth my case.

“ But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,

在患難中呼求我，我必拯救你，你必尊崇我。」

要把一切交托給耶和華，信靠祂，祂必幫助你，

「你要順從上帝，與祂和好，福樂就會臨到你。

所以，照上帝旨意受苦的人要繼續專心行善，將自己的靈魂交託給那位信實的造物主。

在困苦中，瑪拿西祈求他的上帝耶和華的幫助，並且在他祖先的上帝面前極其謙卑。耶和華應允他的禱告，垂聽他的懇求，使他返回耶路撒冷繼續做王。瑪拿西這才明白耶和華是上帝。

你向祂禱告，祂必垂聽，你必向祂還所許的願。

祂被辱駡也不還口，被迫害也不揚言報復，只把自己交託給按公義施行審判的上帝。

我因此而遭受這些苦難，但我不以為恥，因為我知道我所信的是誰，也深信祂能保守祂所託付我的，一直到那日。

我呼求上帝，我高聲呼求，上帝垂聽我的禱告。我在困境中尋求主。我整夜舉手禱告，我的心無法得到安慰。

雅各聽了非常害怕，便把隨從、牛群、羊群和駱駝分成兩隊，心想：「如果以掃來攻擊一隊，另一隊還可以逃生。」他禱告說：「耶和華，我祖父亞伯拉罕和我父親以撒的上帝啊！你吩咐我回到家鄉和親族那裡，答應厚待我。我不配蒙你以慈愛和信實相待，我先前過約旦河的時候，手上只有一根杖，現在卻有兩隊人丁家畜。求你救我脫離我哥哥以掃的手，我怕他會來殺我和我的妻兒。然而，你曾說，『我必厚待你，使你的後代多如海沙，不可勝數。』」

但你若尋求上帝，向全能者懇求；

約拿在魚腹中向他的上帝耶和華禱告說：「我遭遇患難的時候向你求告，你就應允我。我在陰間的深處呼求你，你也垂聽我的聲音。你把我拋進深海，茫茫大海把我吞沒，你的巨浪洪濤淹沒我。我心想，你已經驅逐我離開你的面，但我要再瞻仰你的聖殿。波濤環繞我，深淵吞沒我，海草纏繞著我的頭。我下沉到山的根基，大地的門把我永遠關住；然而，我的上帝耶和華啊，你卻把我的性命從深坑中拯救出來。我的生命漸漸消逝的時候，我就想起了耶和華。我的禱告進入你的聖殿，達到你面前。
