| [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. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer 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 no one living is justified before Thee. |
| [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 an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old. |
| [4]And my spirite is ouerwhelmed within me: and my heart is desolate in the midst of me |
[4]And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become 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 have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse. |
| [6]I stretche foorth myne handes vnto thee: my soule as a thirstie lande [gaspeth] vnto thee. Selah |
[6]I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. 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]Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going 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 in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul. |
| [9](143:10) Delyuer me O God from myne enemies: I hyde my selfe with thee |
[9]Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered. |
| [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 good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God -- Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a 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]For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul, |
| [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 kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant! |
