< Psalm 143 >
1 [Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD, lohng pre luk; Ke suwoswos lom, porongo mwe siyuk luk; Ke oaru lom, topukyu!
Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.
2 Nik kom nununkeyu, mwet kulansap lom. Wangin sie mwet suwoswos ye motom.
And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
3 Mwet lokoalok luk elos ukweyu Nwe ke na elos kutangyula. Elos filiyuwi in sie presin lohsr, A nga oana elos su nu misa pacl loeloes somla.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Ke ma inge nga akola in fuhleak finsrak luk; Insiuk arulana toasrla.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 Nga esamak ke pacl meet ah; Nga nunku ke ma nukewa kom oru, Ac nga esamak orekma lom nukewa.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I muse on the work of your hands.
6 Nga asroeak pouk nu sum ke nga pre; Ngunik malu keim, oana ke infohk uh paolana.
I stretch forth my hands to you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
7 Topukyu inge, LEUM GOD, Wanginla finsrak luk. Nik kom wikinkomla likiyu, Ac pwanang nga in welulosla su oatula nu infulan misa.
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like to them that go down into the pit.
8 Akesmakinyeyu ke lungkulang lom ke lututang nukewa, Tuh nga filiya lulalfongi luk in kom. Pre luk sowak nu yurum. Akkalemye nu sik inkanek nga in fahsr kac.
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul to you.
9 LEUM GOD, nga kaing nu yurum tuh kom in karinginyu; Moliyula liki mwet lokoalok luk.
Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to you to hide me.
10 Lutiyu nga in oru ma lungse lom, Tuh kom God luk. Oru wo nu sik, ac kolyu ke inkanek wo.
Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 LEUM GOD, moliyula oana kom tuh wulela. Ke wolana lom, moliyula liki mwe ongoiya nu sik.
Quicken me, O LORD, for your name’s sake: for your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Ke sripen lungse lom nu sik, uniya mwet lokoalok luk, Ac kunausla mwet nukewa su akkeokyeyu, Mweyen nga mwet kulansap lom.
And of your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
