Salmos 143
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
O salmista ora para que seja livre de inimigos
Salmo de Davi
143 Ó Senhor, ouve a minha oração! Inclina os ouvidos às minhas súplicas; escuta-me segundo a tua verdade e segundo a tua justiça 2 e não entres em juízo com o teu servo, porque à tua vista não se achará justo nenhum vivente.
3 Pois o inimigo perseguiu a minha alma; abateu-me até ao chão; fez-me habitar na escuridão, como aqueles que morreram há muito. 4 Pelo que o meu espírito se angustia em mim; e o meu coração em mim está desolado. 5 Lembro-me dos dias antigos; considero todos os teus feitos; medito na obra das tuas mãos. 6 Estendo para ti as minhas mãos; a minha alma tem sede de ti como terra sedenta. (Selá)
7 Ouve-me depressa, ó Senhor! O meu espírito desfalece; não escondas de mim a tua face, para que eu não seja semelhante aos que descem à cova. 8 Faze-me ouvir a tua benignidade pela manhã, pois em ti confio; faze-me saber o caminho que devo seguir, porque a ti levanto a minha alma. 9 Livra-me, ó Senhor, dos meus inimigos; porque em ti é que eu me refugio.
10 Ensina-me a fazer a tua vontade, pois és o meu Deus; guie-me o teu bom Espírito por terra plana. 11 Vivifica-me, ó Senhor, por amor do teu nome; por amor da tua justiça, tira a minha alma da angústia. 12 E, por tua misericórdia, desarraiga os meus inimigos e destrói a todos os que angustiam a minha alma, pois sou teu servo.
Psalm 143
King James Version
143 Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
Psalm 143
EasyEnglish Bible
This is a song that David wrote.
Please help me, Lord![a]
143 Lord, I pray to you for help.
Please listen to me.
Answer me, because you do what is right,
and I know that I can trust you.
2 Do not judge me, your servant.
Nobody is righteous when they stand in front of you.
3 My enemies are chasing me.
They knock me down to the ground.
They make me live in dark places,
like people who have been dead for a long time.
4 My strength is leaving me,
and I feel very upset.
5 I remember what happened many years ago.
I think carefully about all the good things that you have done.
6 I raise my hands to pray to you.
I need you to help me,
like dry ground needs rain.
Selah
7 Please answer me soon, Lord.
I am losing my strength.
Do not turn away from me.
If you do, I will join those people who are going down
into the deep hole of death.
8 Every morning, help me to remember your faithful love,
because I am trusting in you.
Show me how I should live to please you,
because I know that I belong to you.
9 Lord, save me from my enemies.
I run to you to keep me safe.
10 Teach me to do what pleases you,
because you are my God.
Let your kind Spirit lead me,
so that I can walk in a safe place.
11 Your name is great, Lord,
so please keep my life safe.
You do what is right,
so bring me out of my troubles.
12 I am your servant and you always love me.
Please show how much you love me,
and destroy my enemies.
Yes, kill all those who want to kill me!
