< Psalms 143 >

1 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah. Give ear to my supplications. In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
Yon Sòm David Tande lapriyè mwen, O SENYÈ. Prete zòrèy Ou a siplikasyon mwen yo. Nan fidelite Ou, reponn mwen, ak ladwati Ou!
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant. For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
Konsa, pa antre nan jijman avèk sèvitè Ou a, paske nan zye Ou, nanpwen moun vivan ki jis.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul. He has smitten my life down to the ground. He has made me to dwell in dark places as those who have been long dead.
Paske lènmi an te pèsekite nanm mwen. Li fin kraze lavi m jis rive atè. Li te fè m rete kote fènwa, tankou (sila) ki mouri lontan yo.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
Pou sa, lespri m kraze nèt anndan m. Kè m nan gwo twoub anndan m.
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all thy doings. I muse on the work of thy hands.
Mwen sonje ansyen jou yo. Mwen reflechi tout tan sou tout sa Ou te fè. Mwen panse sou zèv men Ou yo.
6 I spread forth my hands to thee. My soul is as a weary land for thee. (Selah)
Mwen lonje men m vè Ou menm. Nanm mwen fè gwo anvi pou Ou, kon yon peyi deseche.
7 Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah, my spirit fails. Hide not thy face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit.
Reponn mwen vit, O SENYÈ, lespri m vin febli; Pa kache figi Ou sou mwen, oswa mwen va vini kon (sila) ki desann nan fòs yo.
8 Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning, for in thee do I trust. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to thee.
Kite mwen tande lanmou dous Ou a nan granmmaten, paske mwen mete konfyans mwen nan Ou. Enstwi mwen nan chemen ke m ta dwe mache a, paske se a Ou ke mwen leve nanm mwen.
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from my enemies. I flee to thee to hide me.
Delivre mwen, O SENYÈ, de lènmi mwen yo. Mwen kache nan Ou.
10 Teach me to do thy will, for thou are my God. Thy Spirit is good, lead me in the land of uprightness.
Enstwi mwen pou fè volonte Ou, paske se Ou menm ki Bondye mwen. Lespri Ou bon. Kondwi mwen sou tèren ladwati a.
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake. In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
Pou koz a non Ou, O SENYÈ, fè m reprann fòs mwen. Nan ladwati Ou, mennen nanm mwen sòti nan gwo twoub la.
12 And in thy loving kindness cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am thy servant.
Epi nan lanmou dous Ou a, fè lennmi m yo koupe retire nèt. Detwi tout (sila) ki aflije nanm mwen yo, paske mwen se sèvitè Ou.
