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.
A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, Answer me in Your faithfulness—in Your righteousness.
2 Et non intres in iudicium cum servo tuo: quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.
3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam: humiliavit in terra vitam meam. Collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos saeculi:
For an enemy has pursued my soul, He has bruised my life to the earth, He has 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 has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.
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 Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.
6 Expandi manus meas ad te: anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi:
I have spread forth my hands to You, My soul [is] as a weary land for You. (Selah)
7 Velociter exaudi me Domine: defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me: et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.
Hurry, answer me, O YHWH, My spirit has been consumed, Do not hide Your 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 Your kindness in the morning, For I have trusted in You, Cause me to know the way that I go, For I have lifted up my soul to You.
9 Eripe me de inimicis meis Domine, ad te confugi:
Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You 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 Your good pleasure, For You [are] my God—Your Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
11 propter nomen tuum Domine vivificabis me, in aequitate tua. Educes de tribulatione animam meam:
You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress,
12 et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos. Et perdes omnes, qui tribulant animam meam: quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Your servant!
