Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me — in Thy righteousness.
Psalmus David, Quando persequebatur eum Absalom filius eius. Domine exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua: exaudi me in tua iustitia.
2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.
Et non intres in iudicium cum servo tuo: quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
3 For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam: humiliavit in terra vitam meam. Collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos sæculi:
4 And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.
et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus, in me turbatum est cor meum.
5 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.
Memor fui dierum antiquorum, meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis: in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
6 I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. (Selah)
Expandi manus meas ad te: anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi:
7 Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] 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 in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.
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 from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.
Eripe me de inimicis meis Domine, ad te confugi:
10 Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God — Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam:
11 For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,
propter nomen tuum Domine vivificabis me, in æquitate tua. Educes de tribulatione animam meam:
12 And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant!
et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos. Et perdes omnes, qui tribulant animam meam: quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
