Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, landa mabondeli na ngai! Yanola ngai na boyengebene mpe na bosembo na Yo.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
Kosambisa mosali na Yo te, pamba te moto moko te ya bomoi azali sembo liboso na Yo.
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.
Monguna azali konyokola ngai, azali kosakana na bomoi, azali kosala ete navanda kati na molili lokola bato oyo bakufa na tango ya kala.
4 And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Molimo na ngai elembi kati na ngai, motema na ngai emitungisi kati na ngai.
5 I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Nakanisi mikolo ya kala, namilobeli nyonso oyo osala, nakanisi malamu mosala ya maboko na Yo.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. (Selah)
Nasemboli maboko na ngai epai na Yo; nakomi komimona lokola mabele ya kokawuka.
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.
Yawe, zongisela ngai eyano noki! Molimo na ngai ezali kolemba. Kopesa ngai mokongo te, noki te nakozala lokola bato oyo bazali kokita na libulu.
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.
Na tongo makasi, sala ete nayoka boboto na Yo, pamba te natia elikya na ngai kati na Yo. Lakisa ngai nzela ya kolanda, pamba te napesi bomoi na ngai epai na Yo.
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.
Yawe, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai! Nazali koluka ebombamelo epai na Yo.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.
Lakisa ngai kosala mokano na Yo, pamba te ozali Nzambe na ngai. Tika ete Molimo malamu na Yo atambolisa ngai na mabele oyo ezanga mabaku!
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;
Yawe, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, bikisa bomoi na ngai! Na bosembo na Yo, longola bomoi na ngai kati na pasi.
12 And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
Na bolingo na Yo, kanga minoko ya banguna na ngai mpe limwisa bayini na ngai nyonso, pamba te nazali mosali na Yo.
