詩篇 第 143 篇

¹（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。Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

²求你不要審問僕人；因為在你面前，凡活著的人沒有一個是義的。And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

³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。For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

⁴所以，我的靈在我裡面發昏；我的心在我裡面悽慘。Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

⁵我追想古時之日，思想你的一切作為，默念你手的工作。I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

⁶我向你舉手；我的心渴想你，如乾旱之地盼雨一樣。（細拉）I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

⁷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。Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

⁸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。Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

⁹耶和華啊，求你救我脫離我的仇敵！我往你那裡藏身。Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

¹⁰求你指教我遵行你的旨意，因你是我的神。你的靈本為善；求你引我到平坦之地。Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

¹¹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，Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.

¹²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。And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
