Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
Oh Yavé, escucha mi oración. Presta oído a mis súplicas. Por tu fidelidad, por tu justicia respóndeme.
2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
No entres a juicio con tu esclavo, Porque ante tu vista ningún hombre que viva es justo.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
Porque el enemigo persiguió mi vida. Humilló mi vida hasta el suelo. Me obligó a habitar en tenebrosidad, como los muertos.
4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
Por tanto, mi espíritu desfallece dentro de mí, Mi corazón está desolado.
5 I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
Recuerdo los días de antaño. Medito en todas tus obras. Reflexiono sobre la obra de tus manos.
6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
A Ti levanto mis manos. Mi alma te [anhela] como una tierra seca. (Selah)
7 O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
Oh Yavé, respóndeme pronto. Mi espíritu desfallece. No escondas de mí tu rostro, O seré como los que bajan a la fosa.
8 Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
Que yo escuche por la mañana tu misericordia, Porque en Ti confío. Enséñame el camino en el cual debo andar, Porque a Ti levanto mi alma.
9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
Oh Yavé, líbrame de mis enemigos. Me refugio en Ti.
10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
Enséñame a hacer tu voluntad, Porque Tú eres mi ʼElohim, Que tu buen Espíritu me guíe por tierra nivelada.
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
Revíveme, oh Yavé, por amor a tu Nombre. Por tu justicia saca mi alma de la aflicción.
12 And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
Con tu misericordia corta a mis adversarios Y destruye a todos los que afligen mi alma, Porque soy tu esclavo.
