Psalmorum 143
1 Psalmus David, quando persequebatur eum Absalom filius ejus. [Domine, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua; exaudi me in tua justitia.
A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
2 Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam; humiliavit in terra vitam meam; collocavit me in obscuris, sicut mortuos sæculi.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus; in me turbatum est cor meum.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 Memor fui dierum antiquorum; meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis: in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 Expandi manus meas ad te; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
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 faileth: hide not 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 lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine: ad te confugi.
Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
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 spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me: in æquitate tua, educes de tribulatione animam meam,
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake 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 of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
