Psalms 143

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 [Psalm Of David] Yahweh, hear my prayer, listen to my pleading; in your constancy answer me, inyour saving justice;	1 Psalmus David. Adversus Goliath. Benedictus Dominus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prælium, et digitos meos ad bellum.
2 do not put your servant on trial, for no one living can be found guiltless at your tribunal.	2 Misericordia mea et refugium meum ; susceptor meus et liberator meus ; protector meus, et in ipso speravi, qui subdit populum meum sub me.
3 An enemy is in deadly pursuit, crushing me into the ground, forcing me to live in darkness, like thoselong dead.	3 Domine, quid est homo, quia innotuisti ei ? aut filius hominis, quia reputas eum ?
4 My spirit is faint, and within me my heart is numb with fear.	4 Homo vanitati similis factus est ; dies ejus sicut umbra prætereunt.
5 I recal the days of old, reflecting on al your deeds, I ponder the works of your hands.	5 Domine, inclina cælos tuos, et descende ; tange montes, et fumigabunt.
6 I stretch out my hands to you, my heart like a land thirsty for you.Pause	6 Fulgura coruscationem, et dissipabis eos ; emitte sagittas tuas, et conturbabis eos.
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 Emitte manum tuam de alto : eripe me, et libera me de aquis multis, de manu filiorum alienorum :
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 quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Yahweh, since in you I find protection.	9 Deus, canticum novum cantabo tibi ; in psalterio decachordo psallam tibi.
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your generous spirit lead me on even ground.	10 Qui das salutem regibus, qui redemisti David servum tuum de gladio maligno,
11 Yahweh, for the sake of your name, in your saving justice give me life, rescue me from distress.	11 eripe me, et erue me de manu filiorum alienorum, quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.
12 In your faithful love annihilate my enemies, destroy al those who oppress me, for I am your servant.	12 Quorum filii sicut novellæ plantationes in juventute sua ; filiæ eorum compositæ, circumornatæ ut similitudo templi.
	13 Promptuaria eorum plena, eructantia ex hoc in illud ; oves eorum f?tosæ, abundantes in egressibus suis ;
	14 boves eorum crassæ. Non est ruina maceriæ, neque transitus, neque clamor in plateis eorum.
	15 Beatum dixerunt populum cui hæc sunt ; beatus populus cujus Dominus Deus ejus.
