詩篇 143
1 ダビデのうた ヱホバよねがはくはわが祈をきき わが懇求にみみをかたぶけたまへ なんぢの眞実なんぢの公義をもて我にこたへたまへ
A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
2 汝のしもべの審判にかかつらひたまふなかれ そはいけるもの一人だにみまへに義とせらるるはなし
And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
3 仇はわがたましひを迫めわが生命を地にうちすて 死てひさしく世を經たるもののごとく我をくらき所にすまはせたり
For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
4 又わがたましひはわが衷にきえうせんとし わが心はわがうちに曠さびれたり
And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
5 われはいにしへの日をおもひいで 汝のおこなひたまひし一切のことを考へ なんぢの手のみわざをおもふ
I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
6 われ汝にむかひてわが手をのべ わがたましひは燥きおとろへたる地のごとく汝をしたへり (セラ)
I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
7 ヱホバよ速かにわれにこたへたまへ わが霊魂はおとろふ われに聖顔をかくしたまふなかれ おそらくはわれ穴にくだるもののごとくならん
O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
8 朝になんぢの仁慈をきかしめたまへ われ汝によりたのめばなり わが歩むべき途をしらせたまへ われわが霊魂をなんぢに挙ればなり
Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
9 ヱホバよねがはくは我をわが仇よりたすけ出したまへ われ匿れんとして汝にはしりゆく
O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
10 汝はわが神なり われに聖旨をおこなふことををしへたまへ 恵ふかき聖霊をもて我をたひらかなる國にみちびきたまヘ
Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
11 ヱホバよねがはくは聖名のために我をいかし なんぢの義によりてわがたましひを患難よりいだしたまへ
For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
12 又なんぢの仁慈によりてわが仇をたち 霊魂をくるしむる者をことごとく滅したまへ そは我なんぢの僕なり
And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
