Salmos 143
O Livro
Salmo de David.
143 Senhor, ouve a minha oração!
Dá atenção às minhas súplicas,
pois tu és justo e fiel em tudo quanto prometes.
2 Não me peças contas;
perante ti ninguém pode considerar-se justo.
3 Os meus inimigos perseguiram-me,
abateram-me até ao chão.
Fazem-me viver nas trevas profundas,
como se estivesse com os que já deixaram a vida.
4 Por isso, estou tão angustiado;
estou como que afogado em desespero!
5 Lembro-me de tudo o que fizeste no passado;
reflito nas tuas obras, em todo o teu poder.
6 Por isso, estendo-te as minhas mãos.
A minha alma tem sede de ti,
como uma terra sedenta! (Pausa)
7 Ouve-me depressa, Senhor!
O meu espírito desfalece;
não desvies de mim o teu olhar,
para que não fique como os que descem à cova.
8 Permite-me que, logo de manhãzinha,
constate a tua bondade, pois confio em ti.
Ensina-me o caminho que devo seguir,
pois a ti dirijo a minha oração.
9 Livra-me, Senhor, dos meus inimigos,
pois és o meu único refúgio!
10 Ensina-me a fazer a tua vontade,
pois és o meu Deus.
Que o teu bom Espírito me guie,
por um caminho plano!
11 Dá-me uma vida nova e honrarei o teu nome;
pela tua justiça, livra-me da minha angústia.
12 No teu infalível amor para comigo,
extermina os meus inimigos.
Sejam destruídos os meus adversários,
pois a minha vida está ao teu serviço!
Psalm 143
New King James Version
An Earnest Appeal for Guidance and Deliverance
A Psalm of David.
143 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my supplications!
In Your faithfulness answer me,
And in Your righteousness.
2 Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
(A)For in Your sight no one living is righteous.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in [a]darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.
4 (B)Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.
5 (C)I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I [b]muse on the work of Your hands.
6 I spread out my hands to You;
(D)My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah
7 Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
(E)Lest I [c]be like those who [d]go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness (F)in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
(G)Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For (H)I lift up my soul to You.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
[e]In You I take shelter.
10 (I)Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
(J)Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in (K)the land of uprightness.
11 (L)Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 In Your mercy (M)cut[f] off my enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
For I am Your servant.

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!
2 (D)Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous (E)before you.
3 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.
4 Therefore my spirit (H)faints within me;
my heart within me is appalled.
5 (I)I remember the days of old;
(J)I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.
6 (K)I stretch out my hands to you;
(L)my soul thirsts for you like (M)a parched land. Selah
7 (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.
8 (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.
9 (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.
