Mazmur 143
1 Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, dengarlah doaku, perhatikanlah permohonanku. Jawablah aku demi kesetiaan-Mu, kabulkanlah doaku demi keadilan-Mu.
A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, Answer me in Your faithfulness—in Your righteousness.
2 Aku ini hamba-Mu, janganlah mengadili aku, sebab tak ada orang yang tanpa salah di hadapan-Mu.
And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.
3 Musuhku telah mengejar dan mengalahkan aku, dan menjebloskan aku ke dalam penjara yang gelap; aku menjadi seperti orang yang sudah lama mati.
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.
4 Aku sudah patah semangat, hatiku sangat kebingungan.
And my spirit has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.
5 Kuingat hari-hari yang lalu; kupikirkan segala perbuatan-Mu, kurenungkan semua karya-Mu.
I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.
6 Aku berdoa kepada-Mu dengan tangan terentang; seperti tanah yang kering, jiwaku merindukan Engkau.
I have spread forth my hands to You, My soul [is] as a weary land for You. (Selah)
7 Jawablah aku segera, ya TUHAN, sebab aku sudah putus asa. Janganlah bersembunyi daripadaku, supaya aku jangan seperti orang yang sudah turun ke alam maut.
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.
8 Setiap pagi ingatkanlah aku akan kasih-Mu, sebab kepada-Mulah aku berharap. Tunjukkanlah aku jalan yang harus kutempuh, sebab kepada-Mulah aku berdoa.
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.
9 Aku datang hendak berlindung pada-Mu, ya TUHAN, bebaskanlah aku dari musuh-musuhku.
Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You I am covered.
10 Ajarilah aku melakukan kehendak-Mu, sebab Engkaulah Allahku. Engkau baik hati, dan akan membimbing aku di jalan yang rata.
Teach me to do Your good pleasure, For You [are] my God—Your Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
11 Selamatkanlah aku sesuai dengan janji-Mu, ya TUHAN, demi kebaikan-Mu, bebaskanlah aku dari kesesakan.
You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress,
12 Demi kasih-Mu tumpaslah semua musuhku, binasakanlah semua penindasku, sebab aku hamba-Mu.
And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Your servant!
