第 143 篇
求上帝拯救
大卫的诗。
1耶和华啊，求你垂听我的祷告，
倾听我的呼求，
求你凭你的信实和公义应允我的祈求。
2求你不要审判你的仆人，
因为在你眼中没有一个义人。
3敌人迫害我，打垮我，
使我生活在黑暗中，
像死去很久的人。
4我心力交瘁，惊恐万分。
5我想起遥远的过去，
我思想你的一切作为，
回想你所做的事。
6我举手向你呼求，
我的心渴慕你如同干旱之地渴慕甘霖。（细拉）
7耶和华啊，求你快快应允我！
我已绝望，求你不要掩面不顾我，
不然我必和下坟墓的人无异。
8求你让我在清晨就听见你的慈言爱语，
因为我信靠你；
求你指示我当走的路，
因为我的心仰望你。
9耶和华啊，求你救我脱离仇敌，
我要到你那里寻求庇护。
10求你教导我遵行你的旨意，
因为你是我的上帝，
愿你良善的灵引导我走平坦的路。
11耶和华啊，
求你为自己名的缘故拯救我，
凭你的公义救我脱离患难。
12求你铲除我的仇敌，
因为你爱我。
求你消灭一切迫害我的人，
因为我是你的仆人。
A Psalm of David.
1Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3For 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.
4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7Hear 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.143.7 lest…: or, for I am become like, etc
8Cause 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.
9Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.143.9 flee…: Heb. hide me with thee
10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
