求上帝拯救

大衛的詩。

143 耶和華啊,求你垂聽我的禱告,
傾聽我的呼求,
求你憑你的信實和公義應允我的祈求。
求你不要審判你的僕人,
因為在你眼中沒有一個義人。
敵人迫害我,打垮我,
使我生活在黑暗中,
像死去很久的人。
我心力交瘁,驚恐萬分。
我想起遙遠的過去,
我思想你的一切作為,
回想你所做的事。
我舉手向你呼求,
我的心渴慕你如同乾旱之地渴慕甘霖。(細拉)

耶和華啊,求你快快應允我!
我已絕望,求你不要掩面不顧我,
不然我必和下墳墓的人無異。
求你讓我在清晨就聽見你的慈言愛語,
因為我信靠你;
求你指示我當走的路,
因為我的心仰望你。
耶和華啊,求你救我脫離仇敵,
我要到你那裡尋求庇護。
10 求你教導我遵行你的旨意,
因為你是我的上帝,
願你良善的靈引導我走平坦的路。
11 耶和華啊,
求你為自己名的緣故拯救我,
憑你的公義救我脫離患難。
12 求你剷除我的仇敵,
因為你愛我。
求你消滅一切迫害我的人,
因為我是你的僕人。

Psalm 143

A psalm of David.

Hear my prayer, O Lord;
    listen to my plea!
    Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
Don’t put your servant on trial,
    for no one is innocent before you.
My enemy has chased me.
    He has knocked me to the ground
    and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.
I am losing all hope;
    I am paralyzed with fear.
I remember the days of old.
    I ponder all your great works
    and think about what you have done.
I lift my hands to you in prayer.
    I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Interlude

Come quickly, Lord, and answer me,
    for my depression deepens.
Don’t turn away from me,
    or I will die.
Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
    for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
    for I give myself to you.
Rescue me from my enemies, Lord;
    I run to you to hide me.
10 Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
    on a firm footing.
11 For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve my life.
    Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.
12 In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies
    and destroy all my foes,
    for I am your servant.

Salmo de David.

143 Escucha, Señor, mi oración;
    atiende a mi súplica.
Por tu fidelidad y tu justicia,
    respóndeme.
No lleves a juicio a tu siervo,
    pues ante ti nadie puede alegar inocencia.

El enemigo atenta contra mi vida:
    quiere hacerme morder el polvo.
Me obliga a vivir en las tinieblas,
    como los que murieron hace tiempo.
Ya no me queda aliento;
    dentro de mí siento paralizado el corazón.
Traigo a la memoria los tiempos de antaño:
    medito en todas tus proezas,
    considero las obras de tus manos.
Hacia ti extiendo las manos;
    me haces falta, como el agua a la tierra seca. Selah

Respóndeme pronto, Señor,
    que el aliento se me escapa.
No escondas de mí tu rostro,
    o seré como los que bajan a la fosa.
Por la mañana hazme saber de tu gran amor,
    porque en ti he puesto mi confianza.
Señálame el camino que debo seguir,
    porque a ti elevo mi alma.
Señor, líbrame de mis enemigos,
    porque en ti busco refugio.
10 Enséñame a hacer tu voluntad,
    porque tú eres mi Dios.
Que tu buen Espíritu me guíe
    por un terreno sin obstáculos.

11 Por tu nombre, Señor, dame vida;
    por tu justicia, sácame de este aprieto.
12 Por tu gran amor, destruye a mis enemigos;
    acaba con todos mis adversarios.
    ¡Yo soy tu siervo!

My Soul Thirsts for You

A Psalm of David.

143 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
    (A)give ear to my pleas for mercy!
    In your (B)faithfulness answer me, in your (C)righteousness!
(D)Enter not into judgment with your servant,
    for no one living is righteous (E)before you.

For the enemy has pursued my soul;
    (F)he has crushed my life to the ground;
    (G)he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
Therefore my spirit (H)faints within me;
    my heart within me is appalled.

(I)I remember the days of old;
    (J)I meditate on all that you have done;
    I ponder the work of your hands.
(K)I stretch out my hands to you;
    (L)my soul thirsts for you like (M)a parched land. Selah

(N)Answer me quickly, O Lord!
    (O)My spirit fails!
(P)Hide not your face from me,
    (Q)lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
(R)Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
    for in you I (S)trust.
(T)Make me know the way I should go,
    (U)for to you I lift up my soul.

(V)Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord!
    I have fled to you for refuge.[a]
10 (W)Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God!
(X)Let your good Spirit (Y)lead me
    on (Z)level ground!

11 (AA)For your name's sake, O Lord, (AB)preserve my life!
    In your righteousness (AC)bring my soul out of trouble!
12 And in your steadfast love you will (AD)cut off my enemies,
    and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul,
    for I am your (AE)servant.
