Salmi 143
Nuova Riveduta 1994
Preghiera di liberazione
143 (A)Salmo di *Davide.
Signore, ascolta la mia
preghiera, porgi orecchio alle mie
suppliche;
nella tua fedeltà e nella tua giustizia,
rispondimi,
2 e non chiamare in giudizio il tuo
servo,
perché nessun vivente sarà trovato
giusto davanti a te.
3 Poiché il nemico perseguita l'anima mia;
egli calpesta al suolo la mia vita;
mi fa abitare in luoghi tenebrosi
come coloro che son morti già da lungo tempo.
4 Il mio spirito è abbattuto in me,
il mio cuore è tutto smarrito dentro
di me.
5 Ricordo i giorni antichi;
medito su tutte le tue azioni;
rifletto sull'opera delle tue mani.
6 Tendo le mani verso di te;
l'anima mia, come arida terra,
è assetata di te. [Pausa]
7 Affrèttati a rispondermi, Signore;
lo spirito mio viene meno;
non nascondermi il tuo volto,
perché io non diventi simile a quelli che scendono nella tomba.
8 Al mattino fammi udire la tua bontà,
perché in te confido;
fammi conoscere la via da seguire,
poiché io elevo l'anima mia a te.
9 Liberami dai miei nemici, Signore;
io cerco rifugio in te.
10 Insegnami a far la tua volontà,
poiché tu sei il mio Dio;
il tuo Spirito benevolo mi guidi in terra piana.
11 Signore, fammi vivere per amor
del tuo nome;
nella tua giustizia libera l'anima mia
dalla tribolazione!
12 Nella tua bontà distruggi i miei
nemici,
fa' perire tutti quelli che opprimono
l'anima mia,
perché io sono tuo servo.
Psalm 143
New International Version
Psalm 143
A psalm of David.
1 Lord, hear my prayer,(A)
listen to my cry for mercy;(B)
in your faithfulness(C) and righteousness(D)
come to my relief.
2 Do not bring your servant into judgment,
for no one living is righteous(E) before you.
3 The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in the darkness(F)
like those long dead.(G)
4 So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.(H)
5 I remember(I) the days of long ago;
I meditate(J) on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.
6 I spread out my hands(K) to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land.[a]
7 Answer me quickly,(L) Lord;
my spirit fails.(M)
Do not hide your face(N) from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,(O)
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way(P) I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.(Q)
9 Rescue me(R) from my enemies,(S) Lord,
for I hide myself in you.
10 Teach me(T) to do your will,
for you are my God;(U)
may your good Spirit
lead(V) me on level ground.(W)

Psalm 143
New King James Version
An Earnest Appeal for Guidance and Deliverance
A Psalm of David.
143 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my supplications!
In Your faithfulness answer me,
And in Your righteousness.
2 Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
(A)For in Your sight no one living is righteous.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in [a]darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.
4 (B)Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.
5 (C)I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I [b]muse on the work of Your hands.
6 I spread out my hands to You;
(D)My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah
7 Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
(E)Lest I [c]be like those who [d]go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness (F)in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
(G)Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For (H)I lift up my soul to You.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
[e]In You I take shelter.
10 (I)Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
(J)Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in (K)the land of uprightness.
11 (L)Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 In Your mercy (M)cut[f] off my enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
For I am Your servant.
