Psalms 143
1 Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my prayer, Adonai. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
A psalm of David O Yahweh - hear prayer my give ear! to supplications my in faithfulness your answer me in righteousness your.
2 Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is upright.
And may not you go in judgment with servant your for not he is righteous before you any living [person].
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.
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 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
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 old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
I have remembered days - from antiquity I have meditated on every deed your on [the] work of hands your I meditate.
6 I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
I have spread out hands my to you throat my - like a land exhausted [is] to you (Selah)
7 Hurry to answer me, Adonai. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit (of Abbadon, the unrighteous side of Sheol).
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 sh'ma ·hear obey· your cheshed ·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.
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, Adonai, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
Deliver me from enemies my - O Yahweh to you I have covered.
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
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 Revive me, Adonai, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
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 In your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your 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.
