Psalms 143

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 A Psalm of David versus Goliath. Blessed is the Lord, my God, who trains my hands for the battle and my fingers for the war.	1 Psalmus. David. Domine, exaudi orationem meam, auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritatetua; exaudi me in tua iustitia.
2 My mercy and my refuge, my supporter and my deliverer, my protector and him in whom I have hoped: he subdues my people under me.	2 Et non intres in iudicium cum servo tuo, quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
3 O Lord, what is man that you have become known to him? Or the son of man that you consider him?	3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam, contrivit in terra vitam meam, collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos a saeculo.
4 Man has been made similar to vanity. His days pass by like a shadow.	4 Et anxiatus est in me spiritus meus, in medio mei obriguit cor meum.
5 O Lord, incline your heavens and descend. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.	5 Memor fui dierum antiquorum, meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis, in factis manuum tuarum recogitabam.
6 Send a flash of lightning, and you will scatter them. Shoot your arrows, and you will set them in disarray.	6 Expandi manus meas ad te, anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
7 Send forth your hand from on high: rescue me, and free me from many waters, from the hand of the sons of foreigners.	7 Velociter exaudi me, Domine; defecit spiritus meus. Non abscondas faciem tuam a me, ne similis fiam descendentibus in lacum.
8 Their mouth has been speaking vain things, and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.	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 To you, O God, I will sing a new song. On the psaltery, with an instrument of ten strings, I will sing psalms to you.	9 Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine, ad te confugi.
10 He gives salvation to kings. He has redeemed your servant David from the malignant sword.	10 Doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam;
11 Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of the sons of foreigners. Their mouth has been speaking vain things, and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.	11 propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me. In iustitia tua educes de tribulatione animam meam
12 Their sons are like new plantings in their youth. Their daughters are dressed up: adorned all around like the idols of a temple.	12 et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos; et perdes omnes, qui tribulant animam meam, quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
13 Their cupboards are full: overflowing from one thing into another. Their sheep bear young, brought forth in abundance.
14 Their cattle are fat. There is no ruined wall or passage, nor anyone crying out in their streets.
15 They have called the people that has these things: blessed. But blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
