Psalms 143
1 A psalm of David. Hear my prayer, Yahweh; listen to my pleas. Because of your faithfulness and righteousness, answer me!
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 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no one is righteous.
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 The enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed me to the ground; he has made me to live in darkness like those who have been dead a long time.
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 My spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart despairs.
所以，我的靈在我裏面發昏； 我的心在我裏面悽慘。
5 I call to mind the old days; I meditate on all your deeds; I reflect on your accomplishments.
我追想古時之日， 思想你的一切作為， 默念你手的工作。
6 I spread my hands out to you; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land. (Selah)
我向你舉手； 我的心渴想你， 如乾旱之地盼雨一樣。 (細拉)
7 Answer me quickly, Yahweh, because my spirit faints. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like those who go down into 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 Let me hear your covenant faithfulness in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way where I should walk, for I lift 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 Rescue me from my enemies, Yahweh; I flee to you to hide.
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 will, for you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me in the 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 Yahweh, for your name's sake, keep me alive; in your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
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 In your covenant faithfulness cut off my enemies and destroy all the enemies of my life, 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。
