诗篇 143
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
仇敌逼迫求主救脱
143 大卫的诗。
1 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！
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。
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。
4 所以我的灵在我里面发昏，我的心在我里面凄惨。
5 我追想古时之日，思想你的一切作为，默念你手的工作。
6 我向你举手，我的心渴想你，如干旱之地盼雨一样。（细拉）
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。
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。
9 耶和华啊，求你救我脱离我的仇敌，我往你那里藏身。
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。
11 耶和华啊，求你为你的名将我救活，凭你的公义将我从患难中领出来。
12 凭你的慈爱剪除我的仇敌，灭绝一切苦待我的人，因我是你的仆人。

A Prayer Not to Be Killed
A psalm of David.
143 Lord, hear my prayer;
·listen [L give ear] to my ·cry for mercy [prayer of supplication].
Answer me
because you are ·loyal [faithful] and ·good [righteous].
2 Don’t ·judge me [L bring me into judgment], your servant,
because no one alive is ·right [righteous] before you [Rom. 3:22; Gal. 2:16].
3 My enemies are ·chasing [pursuing; persecuting] me;
they crushed me to the ground.
They made me ·live [sit] in darkness
like those long dead [Lam. 3:6].
4 ·I am afraid [I am depressed; L my spirit is faint; 142:3];
my ·courage is gone [L heart within me is desolated].
5 I remember ·what happened long ago [L the former days];
I ·consider [meditated on] everything you have done.
I ·think [considered] ·about all you have made [L the work of your hands].
6 I ·lift my hands to you in prayer [L spread out my hands to you].
·As a dry land needs rain, I thirst [L My life/soul is like a thirsty/parched land] for you. ·
7 Lord, answer me quickly,
because ·I am getting weak [L my spirit languishes].
Don’t ·turn away [L hide your face] from me,
or I will be like those who ·are dead [L go down to the pit].
8 ·Tell me [Make me hear] in the morning about your ·love [loyalty],
because I ·trust [have confidence in] you.
·Show me what I should do [L Make me know the way I should walk],
because ·my prayers go up [L I lift up my soul] to you.
9 Lord, ·save [protect] me from my enemies;
I hide in you.
10 Teach me to do ·what you want [your will],
because you are my God.
Let your good Spirit [or spirit]
·lead [guide] me on level ground.
11 Lord, let me live
·so people will praise you [L for the sake of your name].
In your ·goodness [righteousness]
·save me [L bring me out] from my ·troubles [distress].
12 In your ·love [loyalty] ·defeat [destroy] my enemies.
·Destroy [L Make perish] all those who ·trouble [distress] me,
because I am your servant.
