诗篇 143

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

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。
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。

Psalm 143

New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Psalm 143^[a]

A Prayer in Distress

¹A psalm of David.

Lord, hear my prayer;
    in your faithfulness listen to my pleading;
    answer me in your righteousness.
²Do not enter into judgment with your servant;
    before you no one can be just.^(A)
³The enemy has pursued my soul;
    he has crushed my life to the ground.^(B)
He has made me dwell in darkness
    like those long dead.^(C)
⁴My spirit is faint within me;
    my heart despairs.^(D)
⁵I remember the days of old;
    I ponder all your deeds;
    the works of your hands I recall.^(E)
⁶I stretch out my hands toward you,
    my soul to you like a parched land.^(F)
Selah
⁷Hasten to answer me, Lord;
    for my spirit fails me.
Do not hide your face from me,
    lest I become like those descending to the pit.^(G)
⁸In the morning let me hear of your mercy,
    for in you I trust.
Show me the path I should walk,
    for I entrust my life to you.^(H)
⁹Rescue me, Lord, from my foes,
    for I seek refuge in you.
¹⁰Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God.
May your kind spirit guide me
    on ground that is level.
¹¹For your name’s sake, Lord, give me life;
    in your righteousness lead my soul out of distress.
¹²In your mercy put an end to my foes;
    all those who are oppressing my soul,
    for I am your servant.^(I)

Footnotes

Psalm 143 One of the Church’s seven Penitential Psalms, this lament is a prayer to be freed from death-dealing enemies. The psalmist addresses God, aware that there is no equality between God and human beings; salvation is a gift (Ps 143:1–2). Victimized by evil people (Ps 143:3–4), the psalmist recites (“remembers”) God’s past actions on behalf of the innocent (Ps 143:5–6). The Psalm continues with fervent prayer (Ps 143:7–9) and a strong desire for guidance and protection (Ps 143:10–12).
