Psalms 143
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.
大衛的詩。 耶和華啊，求你聽我的禱告， 留心聽我的懇求， 憑你的信實和公義應允我。
2 And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
求你不要審問僕人； 因為在你面前，凡活着的人沒有一個是義的。
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
原來仇敵逼迫我， 將我打倒在地， 使我住在幽暗之處， 像死了許久的人一樣。
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
所以，我的靈在我裏面發昏； 我的心在我裏面悽慘。
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I muse on the work of your hands.
我追想古時之日， 思想你的一切作為， 默念你手的工作。
6 I stretch forth my hands to you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
我向你舉手； 我的心渴想你， 如乾旱之地盼雨一樣。 (細拉)
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like to them that go down into the pit.
耶和華啊，求你速速應允我！ 我心神耗盡！ 不要向我掩面， 免得我像那些下坑的人一樣。
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul to you.
求你使我清晨得聽你慈愛之言， 因我倚靠你； 求你使我知道當行的路， 因我的心仰望你。
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to you to hide me.
耶和華啊，求你救我脫離我的仇敵！ 我往你那裏藏身。
10 Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
求你指教我遵行你的旨意， 因你是我的上帝。 你的靈本為善； 求你引我到平坦之地。
11 Quicken me, O LORD, for your name’s sake: for your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
耶和華啊，求你為你的名將我救活， 憑你的公義，將我從患難中領出來，
12 And of your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
憑你的慈愛剪除我的仇敵， 滅絕一切苦待我的人， 因我是你的僕人。
