Psalms 143

1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.

1 耶和华啊，求你听我的祷告， 留心听我的恳求， 凭你的信实和公义应允我。

2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.

2 求你不要审问仆人； 因为在你面前，凡活着的人没有一个是义的。

3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.

3 原来仇敌逼迫我， 将我打倒在地， 使我住在幽暗之处， 像死了许久的人一样。

4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.

4 所以，我的灵在我里面发昏； 我的心在我里面凄惨。

5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.

5 我追想古时之日， 思想你的一切作为， 默念你手的工作。

6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah

6 我向你举手； 我的心渴想你， 如干旱之地盼雨一样。 （细拉）

7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.

7 耶和华啊，求你速速应允我！ 我心神耗尽！ 不要向我掩面， 免得我像那些下坑的人一样。

8 Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.

8 求你使我清晨得听你慈爱之言， 因我倚靠你； 求你使我知道当行的路， 因我的心仰望你。

9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.

9 耶和华啊，求你救我脱离我的仇敌！ 我往你那里藏身。

10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

10 求你指教我遵行你的旨意， 因你是我的 神。 你的灵本为善； 求你引我到平坦之地。

11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

11 耶和华啊，求你为你的名将我救活， 凭你的公义，将我从患难中领出来，

12 And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.

12 凭你的慈爱剪除我的仇敌， 灭绝一切苦待我的人， 因我是你的仆人。
