< Psalms 143 >

1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
[Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD, lohng pre luk; Ke suwoswos lom, porongo mwe siyuk luk; Ke oaru lom, topukyu!
2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
Nik kom nununkeyu, mwet kulansap lom. Wangin sie mwet suwoswos ye motom.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
Mwet lokoalok luk elos ukweyu Nwe ke na elos kutangyula. Elos filiyuwi in sie presin lohsr, A nga oana elos su nu misa pacl loeloes somla.
4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
Ke ma inge nga akola in fuhleak finsrak luk; Insiuk arulana toasrla.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
Nga esamak ke pacl meet ah; Nga nunku ke ma nukewa kom oru, Ac nga esamak orekma lom nukewa.
6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
Nga asroeak pouk nu sum ke nga pre; Ngunik malu keim, oana ke infohk uh paolana.
7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
Topukyu inge, LEUM GOD, Wanginla finsrak luk. Nik kom wikinkomla likiyu, Ac pwanang nga in welulosla su oatula nu infulan misa.
8 Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.
Akesmakinyeyu ke lungkulang lom ke lututang nukewa, Tuh nga filiya lulalfongi luk in kom. Pre luk sowak nu yurum. Akkalemye nu sik inkanek nga in fahsr kac.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
LEUM GOD, nga kaing nu yurum tuh kom in karinginyu; Moliyula liki mwet lokoalok luk.
10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Lutiyu nga in oru ma lungse lom, Tuh kom God luk. Oru wo nu sik, ac kolyu ke inkanek wo.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
LEUM GOD, moliyula oana kom tuh wulela. Ke wolana lom, moliyula liki mwe ongoiya nu sik.
12 And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
Ke sripen lungse lom nu sik, uniya mwet lokoalok luk, Ac kunausla mwet nukewa su akkeokyeyu, Mweyen nga mwet kulansap lom.
