詩篇 143
1 達味聖詠。上主，求你俯聽我的祈禱，因你忠誠，俯允我的哀號，我求你俯允，因你的公道！
A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
2 千萬不要傳喚你的僕人前去受審，因為活人在你面前不能稱為義人；
And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 仇人迫害我，將我的生命壓倒在地，置我於黑暗之中，視我與死人無異；
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 我的精神在我內萎靡不振，我的心靈在我內漸形殭硬。
And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
5 我回憶以往的時日，默想你的各種奇事，思量你手中的作為。
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
6 向著你我常伸開我的雙手，渴慕你我的靈魂有如乾土。（休止）
I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
7 上主，求你快來俯聽我，因我的精神萎靡坎坷；莫要對我遮掩你的慈顏，莫讓我像陷入深坑者然。
Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
8 賜我清晨得聞你的仁慈，因我完全信賴你；讓我認識我應走的道路，因我舉心嚮往你。
Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
9 求你救我擺脫我的仇敵！上主因為我時常投奔你！
Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
10 求您教我承行您的旨意，因您是我的天主。願您的善神時常引我導我，走上平坦的樂土。
Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.
11 上主，為了您的聖名，讓我得以生存，為了您的慈愛，領我走出苦津，
For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 為您恩佑，滅我仇人，剷除磨難我的諸人，因為我是您的僕人。
And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
