Psalmi 143

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Psalmus David. Adversus Goliath. Benedictus Dominus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prælium, et digitos meos ad bellum.	1 A psalm of David. LORD, hear my prayer; in your faithfulness listen to my pleading; answer me in your justice.
2 Misericordia mea et refugium meum ; susceptor meus et liberator meus ; protector meus, et in ipso speravi, qui subdit populum meum sub me.	2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant; before you no living being can be just.
3 Domine, quid est homo, quia innotuisti ei ? aut filius hominis, quia reputas eum ?	3 The enemy has pursued me; they have crushed my life to the ground. They have left me in darkness like those long dead.
4 Homo vanitati similis factus est ; dies ejus sicut umbra prætereunt.	4 My spirit is faint within me; my heart is dismayed.
5 Domine, inclina cælos tuos, et descende ; tange montes, et fumigabunt.	5 I remember the days of old; I ponder all your deeds; the works of your hands I recall.
6 Fulgura coruscationem, et dissipabis eos ; emitte sagittas tuas, et conturbabis eos.	6 I stretch out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land. Selah
7 Emitte manum tuam de alto : eripe me, et libera me de aquis multis, de manu filiorum alienorum :	7 Hasten to answer me, LORD; for my spirit fails me. Do not hide your face from me, lest I become like those descending to the pit.
8 quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.	8 At dawn let me hear of your kindness, for in you I trust. Show me the path I should walk, for to you I entrust my life.
9 Deus, canticum novum cantabo tibi ; in psalterio decachordo psallam tibi.	9 Rescue me, LORD, from my foes, for in you I hope.
10 Qui das salutem regibus, qui redemisti David servum tuum de gladio maligno,	10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your kind spirit guide me on ground that is level.
11 eripe me, et erue me de manu filiorum alienorum, quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.	11 For your name's sake, LORD, give me life; in your justice lead me out of distress.
12 Quorum filii sicut novellæ plantationes in juventute sua ; filiæ eorum compositæ, circumornatæ ut similitudo templi.	12 In your kindness put an end to my foes; destroy all who attack me, for I am your servant. Psalm
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.
