< Psalms 143 >

1 [A Psalm by David.] Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ اسْمَعْ صَلاتِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى تَضَرُّعَاتِي. اسْتَجِبْ لِي بِفَضْلِ أَمَانَتِكَ وَعَدْلِكَ.١
2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
لَا تُحَاكِمْ عَبْدَكَ، فَلَنْ يَتَبَرَّرَ أَمَامَكَ إِنْسَانٌ.٢
3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
الْعَدُوُّ يَضْطَهِدُنِي، يَسْحَقُ حَيَاتِي. زَجَّنِي فِي سِجْنٍ مُظْلِمٍ، فَصِرْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَانْدَثَرَ ذِكْرُهُمْ.٣
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
غُشِيَ عَلَى رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي، وَتَحَيَّرَ قَلْبِي فِي أَعْمَاقِي.٤
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
تَذَكَّرْتُ الأَيَّامَ السَّالِفَةَ مُتَأَمِّلاً فِي جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِكَ، مُتَفَكِّراً فِي صَنِيعِ يَدَيْكَ.٥
6 I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ، عَطِشَتْ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي كَأَرْضٍ ظَامِئَةٍ.٦
7 Hurry to answer me, LORD. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, so that I do not become like those who go down into the pit.
أَجِبْنِي مُسْرِعاً يَا رَبُّ. وَهَنَتْ رُوحِي فَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي، لِئَلّا أَصِيرَ كالْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ.٧
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
أَسْمِعْنِي فِي الصَّبَاحِ رَحْمَتَكَ، فَإِنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. عَرِّفْنِي الطَّرِيقَ الَّتِي أَسْلُكُهَا، لأَنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَفَعْتُ نَفْسِي.٨
9 Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I run to you for refuge.
أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي يَا رَبُّ، لأَنَّنِي بِكَ اسْتَعَذْتُ.٩
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Ruach is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
عَلِّمْنِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي، وَلْيَهْدِنِي رُوحُكَ الصَّالِحُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ.١٠
11 Revive me, LORD, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
أَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ، وَبِعَدْلِكَ أَفْرِجْ ضِيقَ نَفْسِي.١١
12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
بِرَحْمَتِكَ لِي اسْتَأْصِلْ أَعْدَائِي، وَأَهْلِكْ جَمِيعَ ظَالِمِيَّ، لأَنِّي أَنَا خَادِمُكَ.١٢
