| [1] Heare my prayer O God, geue eare vnto my desire: hearken vnto me for thy trueth sake, for thy ryghteousnesse sake |
[1]A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and 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 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. |
| [4]And my spirite is ouerwhelmed within me: and my heart is desolate in the midst of me |
[4]Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. |
| [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 remember the days of old, I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. |
| [6]I stretche foorth myne handes vnto thee: my soule as a thirstie lande [gaspeth] vnto thee. Selah |
[6]I stretch forth my hands to thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. |
| [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 faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like them that go down into 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 loving-kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul to thee. |
| [9](143:10) Delyuer me O God from myne enemies: I hyde my selfe with thee |
[9]Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to thee to hide me. |
| [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 spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. |
| [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]Revive me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. |
| [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 of thy mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. |
