求上帝拯救

大卫的诗。

143 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。
求你不要审判你的仆人,
因为在你眼中没有一个义人。
敌人迫害我,打垮我,
使我生活在黑暗中,
像死去很久的人。
我心力交瘁,惊恐万分。
我想起遥远的过去,
我思想你的一切作为,
回想你所做的事。
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)

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。
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。
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。

143 A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me -- in Thy righteousness.

And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.

And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.

I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.

I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. Selah.

Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] the pit.

Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.

10 Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God -- Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.

11 For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,

12 And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant!

Prayer for Help and Guidance.

A Psalm of David.

143 Hear my prayer, Lord,
(A)Listen to my pleadings!
Answer me in Your (B)faithfulness, in Your (C)righteousness!
And (D)do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For (E)no person living is righteous in Your sight.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life (F)to the ground;
He (G)has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.
Therefore (H)my spirit [a]feels weak within me;
My heart is [b](I)appalled within me.

I (J)remember the days of old;
I (K)meditate on all Your accomplishments;
I (L)reflect on the work of Your hands.
I (M)spread out my hands to You;
My (N)soul longs for You, like a weary land. Selah

(O)Answer me quickly, Lord, my (P)spirit fails;
(Q)Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will be the same as (R)those who go down to the pit.
Let me hear Your (S)faithfulness (T)in the morning,
For I trust (U)in You;
Teach me the (V)way in which I should walk;
For to You I (W)lift up my soul.
(X)Save me, Lord, from my enemies;
[c]I take refuge in You.

10 (Y)Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let (Z)Your good Spirit (AA)lead me on level [d]ground.
11 (AB)For the sake of Your name, Lord, (AC)revive me.
(AD)In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And in Your faithfulness, [e](AE)destroy my enemies,
And (AF)eliminate all those who attack my soul,
For (AG)I am Your servant.
