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 ejus. Domine, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua; exaudi me in tua justitia.
2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur 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.
