Psalms 143
1 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah. Give ear to my supplications. In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
| מִזְמֹ֗ור לְדָ֫וִ֥ד יְהוָ֤ה ׀ שְׁמַ֬ע תְּפִלָּתִ֗י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה אֶל־תַּחֲנוּנַ֑י בֶּאֱמֻנָתְךָ֥ עֲ֝נֵ֗נִי בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ |
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant. For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
| וְאַל־תָּבֹ֣וא בְ֭מִשְׁפָּט אֶת־עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־יִצְדַּ֖ק לְפָנֶ֣יךָ כָל־חָֽי׃ |
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.
| כִּ֥י רָ֘דַ֤ף אֹויֵ֨ב ׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י דִּכָּ֣א לָ֭אָרֶץ חַיָּתִ֑י הֹושִׁיבַ֥נִי בְ֝מַחֲשַׁכִּ֗ים כְּמֵתֵ֥י עֹולָֽם׃ |
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
| וַתִּתְעַטֵּ֣ף עָלַ֣י רוּחִ֑י בְּ֝תֹוכִ֗י יִשְׁתֹּומֵ֥ם לִבִּֽי׃ |
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all thy doings. I muse on the work of thy hands.
| זָ֘כַ֤רְתִּי יָמִ֨ים ׀ מִקֶּ֗דֶם הָגִ֥יתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶ֑ךָ בְּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדֶ֣יךָ אֲשֹׂוחֵֽחַ׃ |
6 I spread forth my hands to thee. My soul is as a weary land for thee. (Selah)
| פֵּרַ֣שְׂתִּי יָדַ֣י אֵלֶ֑יךָ נַפְשִׁ֓י ׀ כְּאֶֽרֶץ־עֲיֵפָ֖ה לְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃ |
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.
| מַ֘הֵ֤ר עֲנֵ֨נִי ׀ יְהוָה֮ כָּלְתָ֪ה ר֫וּחִ֥י אַל־תַּסְתֵּ֣ר פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּ֑נִּי וְ֝נִמְשַׁ֗לְתִּי עִם־יֹ֥רְדֵי בֹֽור׃ |
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.
| הַשְׁמִ֘יעֵ֤נִי בַבֹּ֨קֶר ׀ חַסְדֶּךָ֮ כִּֽי־בְךָ֪ בָ֫טָ֥חְתִּי הֹודִיעֵ֗נִי דֶּֽרֶךְ־ז֥וּ אֵלֵ֑ךְ כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֥אתִי נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from my enemies. I flee to thee to hide me.
| הַצִּילֵ֖נִי מֵאֹיְבַ֥י ׀ יְהוָ֗ה אֵלֶ֥יךָ כִסִּֽתִי׃ |
10 Teach me to do thy will, for thou are my God. Thy Spirit is good, lead me in the land of uprightness.
| לַמְּדֵ֤נִי ׀ לַֽעֲשֹׂ֣ות רְצֹונֶךָ֮ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֪ה אֱלֹ֫והָ֥י רוּחֲךָ֥ טֹובָ֑ה תַּ֝נְחֵ֗נִי בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִישֹֽׁור׃ |
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake. In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
| לְמַֽעַן־שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה תְּחַיֵּ֑נִי בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֓ ׀ תֹוצִ֖יא מִצָּרָ֣ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
12 And in thy loving kindness cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am thy servant.
| וּֽבְחַסְדְּךָ֮ תַּצְמִ֪ית אֹ֫יְבָ֥י וְֽ֭הַאֲבַדְתָּ כָּל־צֹרֲרֵ֣י נַפְשִׁ֑י כִּ֝֗י אֲנִ֣י עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ |
