大卫的诗、交与伶长。耶和华阿、你忘记我要到几时呢．要到永远么．你掩面不顾我要到几时呢． 我心里筹算、终日愁苦、要到几时呢．我的仇敌升高压制我、要到几时呢。 耶和华我的 神阿、求你看顾我、应允我、使我眼目光明、免得我沉睡至死． 免得我的仇敌说、我胜了他．免得我的敌人在我摇动的时候喜乐。 但我倚靠你的慈爱．我的心因你的救恩快乐。 我要向耶和华歌唱、因他用厚恩待我。

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

诗篇 13 的祷告从长久等待中的呼喊，走向对神慈爱的倚靠。哀诉与信靠出现在同一首诗里，提醒我们不必隐藏悲伤才能祷告。 朋友正在经历失去，我想陪伴，却不知道该说什么。陪伴哀伤的人，往往需要少一些解释、多一些在场；安慰不必填满沉默。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始：问朋友是否需要一顿饭或安静的陪伴。
English
Psalm 13 moves from cries during prolonged waiting toward trust in God's mercy. Lament and trust belong in the same psalm; grief need not be hidden before praying. A friend is grieving and I want to be present without forcing the right words. Comfort often needs fewer explanations and more presence. Silence need not be filled. Begin with a small concrete response today: Offer a meal or quiet company to your friend.

天父，朋友正在经历失去，我想陪伴，却不知道该说什么。求你在这个处境中陪伴我，使我不必隐藏真实的感受。陪伴哀伤的人，往往需要少一些解释、多一些在场；安慰不必填满沉默。请赐我分辨与勇气，让我今天愿意这样回应：问朋友是否需要一顿饭或安静的陪伴。当结果还未明朗时，帮助我耐心尽自己的责任，也接受可信之人的支持。愿我的言语与行动显出爱，把无法掌握的部分交托给你。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Father, A friend is grieving and I want to be present without forcing the right words. Be with me here and help me bring my feelings honestly before you. Comfort often needs fewer explanations and more presence. Silence need not be filled. Give me wisdom and courage to respond today: Offer a meal or quiet company to your friend. While the outcome is uncertain, help me fulfill my responsibilities patiently and receive support from trustworthy people. Let my words and actions show love as I entrust what I cannot control to you. In Jesus' name, amen.
