Salmos 143
1 Salmo de David. OH Jehová, oye mi oración, escucha mis ruegos: respóndeme por tu verdad, por tu justicia.
A Psalm of David, when his son pursued him. O Lord, attend to my prayer: listen to my supplication in your truth; hear me in your righteousness.
2 Y no entres en juicio con tu siervo; porque no se justificará delante de ti ningún viviente.
And enter not into judgment with your servant, for in your sight shall no [man] living be justified.
3 Porque ha perseguido el enemigo mi alma; ha postrado en tierra mi vida; hame hecho habitar en tinieblas como los ya muertos.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.
4 Y mi espíritu se angustió dentro de mí; pasmóse mi corazón.
Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me.
5 Acordéme de los días antiguos; meditaba en todas tus obras; reflexionaba en las obras de tus manos.
I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all your doings: [yes], I meditated on the works of your hands.
6 Extendí mis manos á ti; mi alma á ti como la tierra sedienta. (Selah)
I spread forth my hands to you; my soul [thirsts] for you, as a dry land. (Pause)
7 Respóndeme presto, oh Jehová que desmaya mi espíritu: no escondas de mí tu rostro, y venga yo á ser semejante á los que descienden á la sepultura.
Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away your face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit.
8 Hazme oir por la mañana tu misericordia, porque en ti he confiado: hazme saber el camino por donde ande, porque á ti he alzado mi alma.
Cause me to hear your mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in you; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to you.
9 Líbrame de mis enemigos, oh Jehová: á ti me acojo.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to you for refuge.
10 Enséñame á hacer tu voluntad, porque tú eres mi Dios: tu buen espíritu me guíe á tierra de rectitud.
Teach me to do your will; for you are my God; your good Spirit shall guide me in the straight [way].
11 Por tu nombre, oh Jehová me vivificarás: por tu justicia, sacarás mi alma de angustia.
You shall quicken me, O Lord, for your name's sake; in your righteousness you shall bring my soul out of affliction.
12 Y por tu misericordia disiparás mis enemigos, y destruirás todos los adversarios de mi alma: porque yo soy tu siervo.
And in your mercy you will destroy mine enemies, and will destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am your servant.
