A Prayer For Courage生之勇氣

Rabindranath Tagore 泰戈爾

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,

我不祈求從險境中得蔭蔽

But to be fearless in facing them.

但求無畏地面對它.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,

我不哀求痛苦得止息

But for the heart to conquer it.

但求一個克服它的心志.

Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield,

我不期望在人生的戰場上有幫手

But to my own strength.

但求自己剛強壯膽.

Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,

在焦慮中我不渴望被他人解救

But hope for the patience to win my freedom.

但望自己有耐心去克服他

Grant me that I may not be a coward,

求您(上帝)不讓我懦弱到

feeling your mercy in my success alone,

安於您恩賜而得到的成就.

But let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.

只讓我失敗時，見到您拉住我的手
