詩篇 143
1 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。
A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
2 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。
And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 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。
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 所以，我的靈在我裏面發昏； 我的心在我裏面悽慘。
And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
5 我追想古時之日， 思想你的一切作為， 默念你手的工作。
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
6 我向你舉手； 我的心渴想你， 如乾旱之地盼雨一樣。 (細拉)
I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
7 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。
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 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。
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 耶和華啊，求你救我脫離我的仇敵！ 我往你那裏藏身。
Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
10 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。
Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.
11 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，
For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 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。
And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
