< Psalms 143 >
1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
[Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD, lohng pre luk; Ke suwoswos lom, porongo mwe siyuk luk; Ke oaru lom, topukyu!
2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Nik kom nununkeyu, mwet kulansap lom. Wangin sie mwet suwoswos ye motom.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long 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 And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
Ke ma inge nga akola in fuhleak finsrak luk; Insiuk arulana toasrla.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
Nga esamak ke pacl meet ah; Nga nunku ke ma nukewa kom oru, Ac nga esamak orekma lom nukewa.
6 I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
Nga asroeak pouk nu sum ke nga pre; Ngunik malu keim, oana ke infohk uh paolana.
7 Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
Topukyu inge, LEUM GOD, Wanginla finsrak luk. Nik kom wikinkomla likiyu, Ac pwanang nga in welulosla su oatula nu infulan misa.
8 Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted 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 mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
LEUM GOD, nga kaing nu yurum tuh kom in karinginyu; Moliyula liki mwet lokoalok luk.
10 Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.
Lutiyu nga in oru ma lungse lom, Tuh kom God luk. Oru wo nu sik, ac kolyu ke inkanek wo.
11 For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy 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 Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
Ke sripen lungse lom nu sik, uniya mwet lokoalok luk, Ac kunausla mwet nukewa su akkeokyeyu, Mweyen nga mwet kulansap lom.
