Psalms 142

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
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.	1 Maschil di Davide; orazione ch’egli fece quando era nella spelonca. IO grido colla mia voce al Signore; Io supplico al Signore colla mia voce.
2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.	2 Io spando la mia orazione davanti a lui; Io racconto davanti a lui la mia tribolazione,
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.	3 Mentre lo spirito mio spasima in me. Or tu, Signore, conosci il mio sentiero. Essi mi hanno nascosto un laccio In su la via, per la quale ho da camminare
4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.	4 Io riguardo a destra, e miro; E non vi è alcuno che mi riconosca; Ogni rifugio è perduto per me; Non vi è alcuno che abbia cura dell’anima mia.
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.	5 O Signore, io grido a te; Io dico: Tu sei il mio ricetto, La mia parte nella terra de’ viventi.
6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.	6 Attendi al mio gridare; Perciocchè io son ridotto in molto misero stato; Riscuotimi da quelli che mi perseguitano; Perciocchè son più possenti di me.
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.	7 Tira fuor di carcere l’anima mia, Acciocchè io celebri il tuo Nome; I giusti m’intonieranno, Quando tu mi avrai fatta la mia retribuzione
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.
9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
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.
