Psalms 143

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [Psalm Of David] Yahweh, hear my prayer, listen to my pleading; in your constancy answer me, inyour saving justice;	1 Psalmus. David. Domine, exaudi orationem meam, auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritatetua; exaudi me in tua iustitia.
2 do not put your servant on trial, for no one living can be found guiltless at your tribunal.	2 Et non intres in iudicium cum servo tuo, quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
3 An enemy is in deadly pursuit, crushing me into the ground, forcing me to live in darkness, like thoselong dead.	3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam, contrivit in terra vitam meam, collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos a saeculo.
4 My spirit is faint, and within me my heart is numb with fear.	4 Et anxiatus est in me spiritus meus, in medio mei obriguit cor meum.
5 I recal the days of old, reflecting on al your deeds, I ponder the works of your hands.	5 Memor fui dierum antiquorum, meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis, in factis manuum tuarum recogitabam.
6 I stretch out my hands to you, my heart like a land thirsty for you.Pause	6 Expandi manus meas ad te, anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
7 Answer me quickly, Yahweh, my spirit is worn out; do not turn away your face from me, or I shal belike those who sink into oblivion.	7 Velociter exaudi me, Domine; defecit spiritus meus. Non abscondas faciem tuam a me, ne similis fiam descendentibus in lacum.
8 Let dawn bring news of your faithful love, for I place my trust in you; show me the road I must travelfor you to relieve my heart.	8 Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam, quia in te speravi. Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ambulem, quia ad te levavi animam meam.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Yahweh, since in you I find protection.	9 Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine, ad te confugi.
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your generous spirit lead me on even ground.	10 Doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam;
11 Yahweh, for the sake of your name, in your saving justice give me life, rescue me from distress.	11 propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me. In iustitia tua educes de tribulatione animam meam
12 In your faithful love annihilate my enemies, destroy al those who oppress me, for I am your servant.	12 et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos; et perdes omnes, qui tribulant animam meam, quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
