Psalms 143
1 HEAR my prayer, O Lord, 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 smitten 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 Therefore is my spirit 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 works; 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 thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
Expandi manus meas ad te; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I 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 lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
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 Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine: ad te confugi.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me: in æquitate tua, educes de tribulatione animam meam,
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict 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.]
