Psalmorum 143
1 Psalmus David, Quando persequebatur eum Absalom filius eius. Domine exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua: exaudi me in tua iustitia.
A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me — in Thy righteousness.
2 Et non intres in iudicium cum servo tuo: quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.
3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam: humiliavit in terra vitam meam. Collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos sæculi:
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.
4 et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus, in me turbatum est cor meum.
And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.
5 Memor fui dierum antiquorum, meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis: in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.
6 Expandi manus meas ad te: anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi:
I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. (Selah)
7 Velociter exaudi me Domine: defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me: et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.
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.
8 Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam: quia in te speravi. Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ambulem: quia ad te levavi animam meam.
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.
9 Eripe me de inimicis meis Domine, ad te confugi:
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.
10 doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam:
Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God — Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
11 propter nomen tuum Domine vivificabis me, in æquitate tua. Educes de tribulatione animam meam:
For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,
12 et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos. Et perdes omnes, qui tribulant animam meam: quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant!
