詩篇 143

求主拯救

大衛的詩。

1 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 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。

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。

4 所以，我的靈在我裏面發昏； 我的心在我裏面悽慘。

5 我追想古時之日， 思想你的一切作為， 默念你手的工作。

6 我向你舉手； 我的心渴想你， 如乾旱之地盼雨一樣。（細拉）

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。

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。

9 耶和華啊，求你救我脫離我的仇敵！ 我往你那裏藏身。

10 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 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 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。

Psalm 143

A psalm of David.

1 O Lord, hear my prayer!
Pay attention to my plea for help!
Because of your faithfulness and justice, answer me!

2 Do not sit in judgment on your servant,
for no one alive is innocent before you.

3 Certainly my enemies chase me.
They smash me into the ground.
They force me to live in dark regions,
like those who have been dead for ages.

4 My strength leaves me;
I am absolutely shocked.

5 I recall the old days;
I meditate on all you have done;
I reflect on your accomplishments.

6 I spread my hands out to you in prayer;
my soul thirsts for you in a parched land.

7 Answer me quickly, Lord!
My strength is fading.
Do not reject me,
or I will join those descending into the grave.

8 May I hear about your loyal love in the morning,
for I trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
because I long for you.

9 Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord!
I run to you for protection.

10 Teach me to do what pleases you,
for you are my God.
May your kind presence
lead me into a level land.

11 O Lord, for the sake of your reputation, revive me!
Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!

12 As a demonstration of your loyal love, destroy my enemies!
Annihilate all who threaten my life,
for I am your servant.
