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.
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 shall no man living be justified.
Et non intres in iudicium cum servo tuo: quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
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.
Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam: humiliavit in terra vitam meam. Collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos sæculi:
4 And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
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 spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
Expandi manus meas ad te: anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi:
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.
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 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.
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 from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
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 an even land.
doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam:
11 For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; 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 mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass 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.
