Psalms 143
1 “A psalm of David.” O Lord, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
A psalm of David O Yahweh - hear prayer my give ear! to supplications my in faithfulness your answer me in righteousness your.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for no living man can be regarded righteous before thee.
And may not you go in judgment with servant your for not he is righteous before you any living [person].
3 For the enemy hath pursued my soul; he hath crushed to the ground my life; he hath made me dwell in darkness, as those that are dead eternally.
For he has pursued an enemy - self my he has crushed to the ground life my he has caused to dwell me in dark places like dead [people] of antiquity.
4 And my spirit within me is overwhelmed: in my bosom is my heart astounded.
And it has fainted away on me spirit my in [the] midst of me it is appalled heart my.
5 I remember the days of olden times: I meditate on all thy doings: on the work of thy hands do I reflect.
I have remembered days - from antiquity I have meditated on every deed your on [the] work of hands your I meditate.
6 I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul [longeth] for thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
I have spread out hands my to you throat my - like a land exhausted [is] to you (Selah)
7 Hasten, answer me, O Lord, my spirit falleth: hide not thy face from me, that I may not become like those that go down into the pit.
Hurry answer me - O Yahweh it is exhausted spirit my may not you hide face your from me and I will be equal with [those who] go down of [the] pit.
8 Cause me to hear in the morning thy kindness; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way whereon I should walk; for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
Make hear me in the morning - covenant loyalty your for in you I have trusted make known to me [the] way which I will go for to you I lift up desire my.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies: by thee do I seek shelter.
Deliver me from enemies my - O Yahweh to you I have covered.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; guide me on a level land.
Teach me - to do will your for you [are] God my spirit your good may it lead me in a land of level ground.
11 For thy sake, O Lord, revive me: in thy righteousness bring forth out of distress my soul.
For [the] sake of name your O Yahweh you will preserve alive me in righteousness your - you will bring out from trouble life my.
12 And in thy kindness destroy my enemies, and annihilate all the adversaries of my soul; far I am thy servant.
And in covenant loyalty your you will destroy enemies my and you will destroy all [the] opposers of life my for I [am] servant your.
