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 Melody of David. O Yahweh, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, In thy faithfulness, answer me, in thy righteousness.
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
Do not then enter into judgment with thy servant, for no one living, can appear just before thee.
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
For an enemy hath pursued my soul, hath crushed, to the earth, my life, hath made me dwell in dark places, like the ancient dead.
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
Therefore hath my spirit, fainted concerning myself, Within me, hath, my heart, been confounded.
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 have remembered the days of aforetime, I have talked with myself of every deed of thine, Of the work of thy hands, I would speak:
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 have spread out my hands unto thee, My soul, is as a thirsty land, for thee. (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
Speedily answer me, O Yahweh, My spirit faileth, —Do not hide thy face from me, or I shall be made like unto them who go down into the pit.
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
Let me hear, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, for, in thee, have, I trusted, —Let me know the way in which I should walk, for, unto thee, have I uplifted my soul.
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
Rescue me from my foes, O Yahweh, Unto thee, have I come seeking refuge.
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 to do thy good pleasure, for, thou, art my God, —Thy spirit, is good, thou wilt set me down to rest in a level land.
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
For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, wilt thou give unto me life, In thy righteousness, wilt thou bring forth, out of distress, my soul;
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
And, in thy lovingkindness, wilt thou exterminate my foes, —and destroy all the adversaries of my soul, because, I, am thy servant.
