Psalmorum 143
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Psalmus David. Adversus Goliath. [Benedictus Dominus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prælium, et digitos meos ad bellum.
1Hear my prayer, O LORD , give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2Misericordia mea et refugium meum; susceptor meus et liberator meus; protector meus, et in ipso speravi, qui subdit populum meum sub me.
2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3Domine, quid est homo, quia innotuisti ei? aut filius hominis, quia reputas eum?
3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4Homo vanitati similis factus est; dies ejus sicut umbra prætereunt.
4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5Domine, inclina cælos tuos, et descende; tange montes, et fumigabunt.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6Fulgura coruscationem, et dissipabis eos; emitte sagittas tuas, et conturbabis eos.
6I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7Emitte manum tuam de alto: eripe me, et libera me de aquis multis, de manu filiorum alienorum:
7Hear me speedily, O LORD : my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.
8Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9Deus, canticum novum cantabo tibi; in psalterio decachordo psallam tibi.
9Deliver me, O LORD , from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10Qui das salutem regibus, qui redemisti David servum tuum de gladio maligno,
10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11eripe me, et erue me de manu filiorum alienorum, quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.
11Quicken me, O LORD , for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12Quorum filii sicut novellæ plantationes in juventute sua; filiæ eorum compositæ, circumornatæ ut similitudo templi.
12And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
13Promptuaria eorum plena, eructantia ex hoc in illud; oves eorum fœtosæ, abundantes in egressibus suis;
