Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
Psalmus David, Quando persequebatur eum Absalom filius eius. Domine exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua: exaudi me in tua iustitia.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
Et non intres in iudicium cum servo tuo: quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
3 For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam: humiliavit in terra vitam meam. Collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos sæculi:
4 And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus, in me turbatum est cor meum.
5 I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Memor fui dierum antiquorum, meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis: in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. (Selah)
Expandi manus meas ad te: anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi:
7 Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Velociter exaudi me Domine: defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me: et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.
8 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam: quia in te speravi. Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ambulem: quia ad te levavi animam meam.
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.
Eripe me de inimicis meis Domine, ad te confugi:
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.
doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam:
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;
propter nomen tuum Domine vivificabis me, in æquitate tua. Educes de tribulatione animam meam:
12 And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos. Et perdes omnes, qui tribulant animam meam: quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
