| [1] Heare my prayer O God, geue eare vnto my desire: hearken vnto me for thy trueth sake, for thy ryghteousnesse sake |
[1]O Lord, attend to my prayer: hearken to my supplication in thy truth; hear me in thy righteousness. |
| [2]And enter not into iudgement with thy seruaunt: for in thy syght no man lyuyng can be iustified |
[2]And enter not into judgment with thy servant, for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. |
| [3]For the enemie hath persecuted my soule, he hath smitten my lyfe downe to the grounde: he hath layde me in darknesse as men that haue ben long dead |
[3]For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark place, as those that have been long dead. |
| [4]And my spirite is ouerwhelmed within me: and my heart is desolate in the midst of me |
[4]Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me. |
| [5]I call to remembraunce the tyme long past: I muse vpon euery act of thine, I exercise my study on the worke of thy handes |
[5]I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all thy doings: yea, I meditated on the works of thine hands. |
| [6]I stretche foorth myne handes vnto thee: my soule as a thirstie lande [gaspeth] vnto thee. Selah |
[6]I spread forth my hands to thee; my soul thirsts for thee, as a dry land. Pause. |
| [7]Make speede, hearken vnto me O God, my spirite waxeth faynt: hyde not thy face from me, for I am lyke vnto them that go downe into the pyt |
[7]Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away thy face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit. |
| [8]Cause me to heare of thy louyng kindnesse betymes in the mornyng: for in thee is my trust. (143:9) Make me to knowe the way that I shoulde walke in: for I lyft vp my soule vnto thee |
[8]Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in thee; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to thee. |
| [9](143:10) Delyuer me O God from myne enemies: I hyde my selfe with thee |
[9]Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to thee for refuge. |
| [10](143:11) Teache me to do the thyng that pleaseth thee, for thou art my Lorde: let thy good spirite leade me foorth vnto the lande of ryghteousnesse |
[10]Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy good Spirit shall guide me in the straight way. |
| [11](143:12) For thy names sake O God thou wilt cause me to lyue: and for thy righteousnesse sake thou wilt bryng my soule out of trouble |
[11]Thou shalt quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness thou shalt bring my soul out of affliction. |
| [12](143:13) And of thy goodnesse thou wylt restrayne myne enemies: and destroy all them that be aduersaries to my soule, for I am thy seruaunt |
[12]And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy mine enemies, and wilt destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant. |
