詩篇 143
1 ヱホバよねがはくはわが祈をきき わが懇求にみみをかたぶけたまへ なんぢの眞實なんぢの公義をもて我にこたへたまへ
A psalm of David. Lord, please hear my prayer. Because you are faithful, please listen to my appeal for mercy. Answer me because you do what is right!
2 汝のしもべの審判にかかつらひたまふなかれ そはいけるもの一人だにみまへに義とせらるるはなし
Please don't place me, your servant, on trial, because nobody is innocent in your sight.
3 仇はわがたましひを迫めわが生命を地にうちすて 死てひさしく世を經たるもののごとく我をくらき所にすまはせたり
The enemy has chased me down. He crushes me to the ground. He makes me live in darkness like those who died a long time ago.
4 又わがたましひはわが衷にきえうせんとし わが心はわがうちに曠さびれたり
I sense myself fading away inside; I am overwhelmed by a sense of desolation.
5 われはいにしへの日をおもひいで 汝のおこなひたまひし一切のことを考へ なんぢの手のみわざをおもふ
I think of days long ago, and as I meditate I talk to myself about all you have done, I reflect on what you have accomplished.
6 われ汝にむかひてわが手をのべ わがたましひは燥きおとろへたる地のごとく汝をしたへり (セラ)
I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. (Selah)
7 ヱホバよ速かにわれにこたへたまへ わが霊魂はおとろふ われに聖顔をかくしたまふなかれ おそらくはわれ穴にくだるもののごとくならん
Please answer me quickly, Lord! I'm dying! Don't turn away otherwise I'll be just like those who are going down into the grave.
8 朝になんぢの仁慈をきかしめたまへ われ汝によりたのめばなり わが歩むべき途をしらせたまへ われわが霊魂をなんぢに擧ればなり
Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.
9 ヱホバよねがはくは我をわが仇よりたすけ出したまへ われ匿れんとして汝にはしりゆく
Save me from those who hate me, Lord—I run to you for protection.
10 汝はわが神なり われに聖旨をおこなふことををしへたまへ 惠ふかき聖霊をもて我をたひらかなる國にみちびきたまへ
Teach me your will for you are my God. May your spirit of goodness lead me and make my way smooth.
11 ヱホバよねがはくは聖名のために我をいかし なんぢの義によりてわがたましひを患難よりいだしたまへ
Because of the kind of person you are, let me go on living. Because you always do what's right, get me out of the trouble I'm in.
12 又なんぢの仁慈によりてわが仇をたち 霊魂をくるしむる者をことごとく滅したまへ そは我なんぢの僕なり
In your trustworthy love, get rid of those who hate me, destroy all my enemies, for I am your servant.
