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。
2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.
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。
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。
4 And my spirit has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.
所以，我的靈在我裏面發昏； 我的心在我裏面悽慘。
5 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.
我追想古時之日， 思想你的一切作為， 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)
我向你舉手； 我的心渴想你， 如乾旱之地盼雨一樣。 (細拉)
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。
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。
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You I am covered.
耶和華啊，求你救我脫離我的仇敵！ 我往你那裏藏身。
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， 因你是我的上帝。 你的靈本為善； 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，
12 And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Your servant!
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。
