Psalms 143
1 Yahweh, hear me while I pray to you! Because you are righteous and because you faithfully do what you have promised, listen to what I am pleading that you [do for me].
Oh Yavé, escucha mi oración. Presta oído a mis súplicas. Por tu fidelidad, por tu justicia respóndeme.
2 I am one who serves you; do not judge me, because you know that everyone has done things that are wrong).
No entres a juicio con tu esclavo, Porque ante tu vista ningún hombre que viva es justo.
3 [My] enemies have pursued me; they have completely defeated me. [It is as though] they have put me in a dark [prison], where I [have nothing good to] ([hope for/expect]), like those who died long ago [SIM].
Porque el enemigo persiguió mi vida. Humilló mi vida hasta el suelo. Me obligó a habitar en tenebrosidad, como los muertos.
4 So I am very discouraged; I am very dismayed/worried.
Por tanto, mi espíritu desfallece dentro de mí, Mi corazón está desolado.
5 I remember what has happened previously: I (meditate on/think about) all the things that you have done; I consider [all] the [great] deeds that you [SYN] have performed.
Recuerdo los días de antaño. Medito en todas tus obras. Reflexiono sobre la obra de tus manos.
6 I lift up my hands/arms to you while I pray; I [SYN] need you, like very dry ground [needs rain] [SIM].
A Ti levanto mis manos. Mi alma te [anhela] como una tierra seca. (Selah)
7 Yahweh, I am very discouraged, [so] please answer me right now! Do not hide from me, because if you do that, I will [soon] be [SIM] among those who descend to where the dead people are.
Oh Yavé, respóndeme pronto. Mi espíritu desfallece. No escondas de mí tu rostro, O seré como los que bajan a la fosa.
8 [Every] morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love [me], because I trust in you. I (pray/send my prayers up [IDM]) to you; show me what I should do.
Que yo escuche por la mañana tu misericordia, Porque en Ti confío. Enséñame el camino en el cual debo andar, Porque a Ti levanto mi alma.
9 Yahweh, I have gone/run to you to be protected, [so] rescue me from my enemies.
Oh Yavé, líbrame de mis enemigos. Me refugio en Ti.
10 You are my God; teach me to do what you want me to do. I want your good Spirit to lead me on a path that is not difficult to walk on.
Enséñame a hacer tu voluntad, Porque Tú eres mi ʼElohim, Que tu buen Espíritu me guíe por tierra nivelada.
11 Yahweh, restore me when I am close to dying, as you promised to do. Because you are righteous/good, rescue me from my troubles/difficulties!
Revíveme, oh Yavé, por amor a tu Nombre. Por tu justicia saca mi alma de la aflicción.
12 I am one who serves you; so because you faithfully love [me], kill my enemies and get rid of all those who (oppress/cause trouble for) me.
Con tu misericordia corta a mis adversarios Y destruye a todos los que afligen mi alma, Porque soy tu esclavo.
