Psalms 143
1 [A Psalm by David.] Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
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 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
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.
Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam; humiliavit in terra vitam meam; collocavit me in obscuris, sicut mortuos sæculi.
4 Therefore my spirit is 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 your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
Memor fui dierum antiquorum; meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis: in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
6 I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
Expandi manus meas ad te; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
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.
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 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.
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, LORD, from my enemies. I run to you for refuge.
Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine: ad te confugi.
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Ruach is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam.
11 Revive me, LORD, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me: in æquitate tua, educes de tribulatione animam meam,
12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict 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.
