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.
Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, dengarlah doaku, perhatikanlah permohonanku. Jawablah aku demi kesetiaan-Mu, kabulkanlah doaku demi keadilan-Mu.
2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.
Aku ini hamba-Mu, janganlah mengadili aku, sebab tak ada orang yang tanpa salah di hadapan-Mu.
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.
Musuhku telah mengejar dan mengalahkan aku, dan menjebloskan aku ke dalam penjara yang gelap; aku menjadi seperti orang yang sudah lama mati.
4 And my spirit has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.
Aku sudah patah semangat, hatiku sangat kebingungan.
5 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.
Kuingat hari-hari yang lalu; kupikirkan segala perbuatan-Mu, kurenungkan semua karya-Mu.
6 I have spread forth my hands to You, My soul [is] as a weary land for You. (Selah)
Aku berdoa kepada-Mu dengan tangan terentang; seperti tanah yang kering, jiwaku merindukan Engkau.
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.
Jawablah aku segera, ya TUHAN, sebab aku sudah putus asa. Janganlah bersembunyi daripadaku, supaya aku jangan seperti orang yang sudah turun ke alam maut.
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.
Setiap pagi ingatkanlah aku akan kasih-Mu, sebab kepada-Mulah aku berharap. Tunjukkanlah aku jalan yang harus kutempuh, sebab kepada-Mulah aku berdoa.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You I am covered.
Aku datang hendak berlindung pada-Mu, ya TUHAN, bebaskanlah aku dari musuh-musuhku.
10 Teach me to do Your good pleasure, For You [are] my God—Your Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
Ajarilah aku melakukan kehendak-Mu, sebab Engkaulah Allahku. Engkau baik hati, dan akan membimbing aku di jalan yang rata.
11 You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress,
Selamatkanlah aku sesuai dengan janji-Mu, ya TUHAN, demi kebaikan-Mu, bebaskanlah aku dari kesesakan.
12 And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Your servant!
Demi kasih-Mu tumpaslah semua musuhku, binasakanlah semua penindasku, sebab aku hamba-Mu.
