Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
Psalmus David, Quando eum filius suus 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 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 saeculi:
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 aequitate 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.
