Psalms 143
1 A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, Answer me in Your faithfulness—in Your righteousness.
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！
2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.
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；
3 For an enemy has pursued my soul, He has bruised my life to the earth, He has caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
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；
4 And my spirit has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.
我的精神在我內萎靡不振，我的心靈在我內漸形殭硬。
5 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.
我回憶以往的時日，默想你的各種奇事，思量你手中的作為。
6 I have spread forth my hands to You, My soul [is] as a weary land for You. (Selah)
向著你我常伸開我的雙手，渴慕你我的靈魂有如乾土。（休止）
7 Hurry, answer me, O YHWH, My spirit has been consumed, Do not hide Your face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] the pit.
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。
8 Cause me to hear Your kindness in the morning, For I have trusted in You, Cause me to know the way that I go, For I have lifted up my soul to You.
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。
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You I am covered.
求你救我擺脫我的仇敵！上主因為我時常投奔你！
10 Teach me to do Your good pleasure, For You [are] my God—Your Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
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。
11 You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress,
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，
12 And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Your servant!
為您恩佑，滅我仇人，剷除磨難我的諸人，因為我是您的僕人。
