PSALMS 诗篇143

1O Lord , hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
2Do not bring your servant into judgment¹, for no one living is righteous before you.
3The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
4So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
5I remember the days of long ago; I meditate² on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
6I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched³ land. Selah
7Answer me quickly, O Lord ; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
9Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord , for I hide myself in you.
10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11For your name's sake, O Lord , preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
12In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes⁴, for I am your servant.
