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.
MAING Ieowa, kom kotin ereki ai kapakap, o karong ar en mangi ai ngidingid; mangi ia ni ar melel o ar pung.
2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
Kom der kotin kadeikada sapwilim omui ladu, pwe mo’mui sota me maur men me pung.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
Pwe imwintiti kin masamasan ia, o kin tiakedi maur i; a kin kase ia di wasa rotorot dueta ir me melar mas o.
4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
Ngen i kin luetala, o mongiong i ponla.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
I kin tamanda ansau mas akan, o madamadaua duen ar wiawia kan; i kin lamelame duen dodok en lim omui kan.
6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
I kin kapa wong komui pa i kat, duen sap madekong eu, me kin inong iong katau, iduen ngen i kin inong iong ir. (Sela)
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.
Maing Ieowa, kom kotin mangi ia madang, ngen i kin dupokala. Kom der kotin karirala silang omui sang mo i, pwe i ender dueta ir, me pan lokidokila.
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.
Nin soran omui kalangan en pwara dong ia, pwe i kin liki komui; kom kotin kasale ong ia al, me i en weid ia, pwe ngen i kin auiaui komui.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
Maing Ieowa, kom kotin dore ia la sang ai imwintiti kan, i kin kaporoporeki komui.
10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Padaki ong ia, pwe i en dodok duen kupur omui; pwe komui ai Kot; ngen omui mau en kotin kalua ia pon al pung;
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Maing Ieowa, kom kotin kamau ia da pweki mar omui; kalua ia sang nan wasa apwal ni omui pung.
12 And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
O kotin kawela ai imwintiti kan, pweki omui kalangan; o kotin kamela karos me kin katoutoui ngen i, pwe ngai sapwilim omui ladu.
