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。 我曾盼望的未来没有发生，需要为这个失落留出空间。没有实现的盼望也值得哀悼；神面前不需要把遗憾包装成快乐。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始：给那个失落写一封不必寄出的信。
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. The future I hoped for did not happen, and I need space to grieve that loss. An unrealized hope deserves grieving too. Regret need not be disguised as happiness before God. Begin with a small concrete response today: Write an unsent letter about that loss.

天父，我曾盼望的未来没有发生，需要为这个失落留出空间。求你在这个处境中陪伴我，使我不必隐藏真实的感受。没有实现的盼望也值得哀悼；神面前不需要把遗憾包装成快乐。请赐我分辨与勇气，让我今天愿意这样回应：给那个失落写一封不必寄出的信。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。

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.
