新娘的祈禱

取材自 詠16

天主,求你保祐我,因為我只投靠你。我對天主說:「惟有你是我的上主,惟有你是我的幸福。」

我要讚頌引導我的上主,我心連夜間也向我督促。我常將上主置於我的眼前,我決不動搖,因他在我右邊。因此,我心高興,我靈喜歡,連我的肉軀也無憂安眠。

請你將生命的道路指示給我,惟有在你面前有圓滿的喜悅,永遠在你右邊也是我的福樂。

Prayer of a Future Wife

ADAPTED FROM PSALM 16

Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge;

          I say to the Lord, “My God are you.

          Apart from you I have no good.”

I bless the Lord who counsels me;

          even in the night my heart exhorts me.

I set the Lord ever before me;

          with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.

Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,

          my body abides in confidence.

You, O Lord, will show me the path to life,

          fullness of joys in your presence,

          the delights at your right hand forever.
