< Psalms 143 >
1 A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, Answer me in Your faithfulness—in Your righteousness.
psalmus David quando filius eum persequebatur Domine exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua exaudi me in tua iustitia
2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.
et non intres in iudicio cum servo tuo quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens
3 For an enemy has pursued my soul, He has bruised my life to the earth, He has caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam humiliavit in terra vitam meam conlocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos saeculi
4 And my spirit has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.
et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus in me turbatum est cor meum
5 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.
memor fui dierum antiquorum meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis in factis manuum tuarum meditabar
6 I have spread forth my hands to You, My soul [is] as a weary land for You. (Selah)
expandi manus meas ad te anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi diapsalma
7 Hurry, answer me, O YHWH, My spirit has been consumed, Do not hide Your face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] 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 Your kindness in the morning, For I have trusted in You, Cause me to know the way that I go, For I have lifted up my soul to You.
auditam mihi fac mane misericordiam tuam quia in te speravi notam fac mihi viam in qua ambulem quia ad te levavi animam meam
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You I am covered.
eripe me de inimicis meis Domine ad te confugi
10 Teach me to do Your good pleasure, For You [are] my God—Your Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
doce me facere voluntatem tuam quia Deus meus es tu spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terra recta
11 You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress,
propter nomen tuum Domine vivificabis me in aequitate tua educes de tribulatione animam meam
12 And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Your servant!
et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos et perdes omnes qui tribulant animam meam quoniam ego servus tuus sum
