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.
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 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.
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 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.
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 And my spirit has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.
所以，我的灵在我里面发昏； 我的心在我里面凄惨。
5 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.
我追想古时之日， 思想你的一切作为， 默念你手的工作。
6 I have spread forth my hands to You, My soul [is] as a weary land for You. (Selah)
我向你举手； 我的心渴想你， 如干旱之地盼雨一样。 (细拉)
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.
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 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.
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 Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You I am covered.
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 good pleasure, For You [are] my God—Your Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
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 You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress,
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 And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, 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。
