Psalms 143
1 [A Psalm by David.] Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
Salimo la Davide. Yehova imvani pemphero langa, mvetserani kulira kwanga kopempha chifundo; mwa kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chilungamo chanu bwerani kudzandithandiza.
2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
Musazenge mlandu mtumiki wanu, pakuti palibe munthu wamoyo amene ndi wolungama pamaso panu.
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.
Mdani akundithamangitsa, iye wandipondereza pansi; wachititsa kuti ndikhale mu mdima ngati munthu amene anafa kale.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
Choncho mzimu wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga; mʼkati mwanga, mtima wanga uli ndi nkhawa.
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
Ndimakumbukira masiku amakedzana; ndimalingalira za ntchito yanu yonse, ndimaganizira zimene manja anu anachita.
6 I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
Ndatambalitsa manja anga kwa Inu; moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu lofuna Inu monga nthaka yowuma. (Sela)
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.
Yehova ndiyankheni msanga; mzimu wanga ukufowoka. Musandibisire nkhope yanu, mwina ndidzakhala ngati iwo amene atsikira ku dzenje.
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.
Lolani kuti mmawa ubweretse mawu achikondi chanu chosasinthika, pakuti ine ndimadalira Inu. Mundisonyeze njira yoti ndiyendemo, pakuti kwa Inu nditukulira moyo wanga.
9 Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I run to you for refuge.
Pulumutseni kwa adani anga, Inu Yehova, pakuti ndimabisala mwa Inu.
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Phunzitseni kuchita chifuniro chanu, popeza ndinu Mulungu wanga; Mzimu wanu wabwino unditsogolere pa njira yanu yosalala.
11 Revive me, LORD, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Sungani moyo wanga Inu Yehova chifukwa cha dzina lanu; mwa chilungamo chanu tulutseni mʼmasautso anga.
12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
Mwa chikondi chanu chosasinthika khalitsani chete adani anga; wonongani adani anga, pakuti ndine mtumiki wanu.
