Psalms 143
1 A psalm of David. Listen, O Lord, to my prayer; attend to my plea. In your faithfulness give me answer, and in your righteousness.
大卫的诗。 耶和华啊，求你听我的祷告， 留心听我的恳求， 凭你的信实和公义应允我。
2 With your servant O enter you not into judgment, for in your sight can no one alive be justified.
求你不要审问仆人； 因为在你面前，凡活着的人没有一个是义的。
3 For the enemy persecutes me, crushing my life to the ground, making me live in the darkness, as those who have long been dead.
原来仇敌逼迫我， 将我打倒在地， 使我住在幽暗之处， 像死了许久的人一样。
4 My spirit is faint within me, my heart is bewildered within me.
所以，我的灵在我里面发昏； 我的心在我里面凄惨。
5 I remember the days of old, and brood over all you have done, musing on all that your hands have wrought.
我追想古时之日， 思想你的一切作为， 默念你手的工作。
6 I spread out my hands to you: I thirst for you, like parched earth. (Selah)
我向你举手； 我的心渴想你， 如干旱之地盼雨一样。 (细拉)
7 Answer me soon, Lord, because my spirit is spent. Hide not your face from me, else become I like those who go down to the pit.
耶和华啊，求你速速应允我！ 我心神耗尽！ 不要向我掩面， 免得我像那些下坑的人一样。
8 Let me learn of your love in the morning, for my trust is in you. Teach me the way I should go: for my heart longs for you.
求你使我清晨得听你慈爱之言， 因我倚靠你； 求你使我知道当行的路， 因我的心仰望你。
9 Save me, O Lord, from my foes: for to you I have fled for refuge.
耶和华啊，求你救我脱离我的仇敌！ 我往你那里藏身。
10 Teach me to do your will, for you yourself are my God. Guide me by your good spirit, O Lord, on a way that is smooth.
求你指教我遵行你的旨意， 因你是我的 神。 你的灵本为善； 求你引我到平坦之地。
11 Be true to your name Lord, spare me, bring me out of distress in your faithfulness.
耶和华啊，求你为你的名将我救活， 凭你的公义，将我从患难中领出来，
12 In your kindness extinguish my enemies, and all those who vex me destroy; for I am your servant.
凭你的慈爱剪除我的仇敌， 灭绝一切苦待我的人， 因我是你的仆人。
