Psalmorum 143
1 Psalmus David, Quando eum filius suus persequebatur eum Absalom filius eius. Domine exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua: exaudi me in tua iustitia.
Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.
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 in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam: humiliavit in terra vitam meam. Collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos saeculi:
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:
4 et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus, in me turbatum est cor meum.
And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
5 Memor fui dierum antiquorum, meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis: in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
6 Expandi manus meas ad te: anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi:
I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
7 Velociter exaudi me Domine: defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me: et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into 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 thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
9 Eripe me de inimicis meis Domine, ad te confugi:
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:
10 doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam:
Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:
11 propter nomen tuum Domine vivificabis me, in aequitate tua. Educes de tribulatione animam meam:
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:
12 et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos. Et perdes omnes, qui tribulant animam meam: quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
