Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
Salmo de David. Yahvé, escucha mi oración, presta oído a mi súplica según tu fidelidad; óyeme por tu justicia,
2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
y no entres en juicio con tu siervo, porque ningún viviente es justo delante de Ti.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
El enemigo persigue mi alma, ha postrado en tierra mi vida; me ha encerrado en las tinieblas, como los ya difuntos.
4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
El espíritu ha desfallecido en mí, y mi corazón está helado en mi pecho.
5 I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
Me acuerdo de los días antiguos, medito en todas tus obras, contemplo las hazañas de tus manos,
6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
y extiendo hacia Ti las mías: como tierra falta de agua, mi alma tiene sed de Ti.
7 O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
Escúchame pronto, Yahvé, porque mi espíritu languidece. No quieras esconder de mí tu rostro: sería yo como los que bajaron a la tumba.
8 Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
Hazme sentir al punto tu misericordia, pues en Ti coloco mi confianza. Muéstrame el camino que debo seguir, ya que hacia Ti levanto mi alma.
9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
Líbrame de mis enemigos, Yahvé; a Ti me entrego.
10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
Enséñame a hacer tu voluntad, porque Tú eres mi Dios. Tu Espíritu es bueno; guíame, pues, por camino llano.
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
Por tu Nombre, Yahvé, guarda mi vida; por tu clemencia saca mi alma de la angustia.
12 And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
Y por tu gracia acaba con mis enemigos, y disipa a cuantos atribulan mi alma, porque soy siervo tuyo.
