诗篇 第 143 篇
1大卫的诗。 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。
1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
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。
2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
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。
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.
4所以,我的灵在我里面发昏; 我的心在我里面凄惨。
4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5我追想古时之日, 思想你的一切作为, 默念你手的工作。
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6我向你举手; 我的心渴想你, 如干旱之地盼雨一样。 (细拉)
6I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
