Awit 143
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
143 Dinggin mo ang dalangin ko Oh Panginoon; pakinggan mo ang aking mga pamanhik: sa iyong pagtatapat ay sagutin mo ako, at sa iyong katuwiran.
2 At huwag kang masok sa kahatulan na kasama ng iyong lingkod; sapagka't sa iyong paningin ay walang taong may buhay na aariing ganap.
3 Sapagka't pinagusig ng kaaway ang kaluluwa ko; kaniyang sinaktan ang aking buhay ng lugmok sa lupa: kaniyang pinatahan ako sa mga madilim na dako, gaya ng mga namatay nang malaon.
4 Kaya't ang aking diwa ay nanglulupaypay sa loob ko; ang puso ko sa loob ko ay bagbag.
5 Aking naaalaala ang mga araw ng una; aking ginugunita ang lahat mong mga gawa: aking binubulay ang gawa ng iyong mga kamay.
6 Iginawad ko ang aking mga kamay sa iyo: ang aking kaluluwa ay nananabik sa iyo, na parang uhaw na lupain. (Selah)
7 Magmadali kang sagutin mo ako, Oh Panginoon; ang diwa ko'y nanglulupaypay: huwag mong ikubli ang iyong mukha sa akin; baka ako'y maging gaya nila na nagsibaba sa hukay.
8 Iparinig mo sa akin ang iyong kagandahang-loob sa kinaumagahan; sapagka't sa iyo ako tumitiwala: ipabatid mo sa akin ang daan na aking dapat lakaran; sapagka't itinaas ko ang aking kaluluwa sa iyo.
9 Iligtas mo ako, Oh Panginoon, sa aking mga kaaway: tumatakas ako sa iyo upang ikubli mo ako.
10 Turuan mo akong gumawa ng iyong kalooban; sapagka't ikaw ay aking Dios: ang iyong Espiritu ay mabuti; patnubayan mo ako sa lupain ng katuwiran.
11 Buhayin mo ako, Oh Panginoon, dahil sa iyong pangalan: sa iyong katuwiran ay ilabas mo ang aking kaluluwa sa kabagabagan,
12 At sa iyong kagandahang-loob ay ihiwalay mo ang aking mga kaaway, at lipulin mo ang lahat na nagsisidalamhati sa aking kaluluwa; sapagka't ako'y iyong lingkod.
Psalm 143
English Standard Version
My Soul Thirsts for You
A Psalm of David.
143 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
(A)give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your (B)faithfulness answer me, in your (C)righteousness!
2 (D)Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous (E)before you.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul;
(F)he has crushed my life to the ground;
(G)he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
4 Therefore my spirit (H)faints within me;
my heart within me is appalled.
5 (I)I remember the days of old;
(J)I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.
6 (K)I stretch out my hands to you;
(L)my soul thirsts for you like (M)a parched land. Selah
7 (N)Answer me quickly, O Lord!
(O)My spirit fails!
(P)Hide not your face from me,
(Q)lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
8 (R)Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I (S)trust.
(T)Make me know the way I should go,
(U)for to you I lift up my soul.
9 (V)Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord!
I have fled to you for refuge.[a]
10 (W)Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God!
(X)Let your good Spirit (Y)lead me
on (Z)level ground!
11 (AA)For your name's sake, O Lord, (AB)preserve my life!
In your righteousness (AC)bring my soul out of trouble!
12 And in your steadfast love you will (AD)cut off my enemies,
and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul,
for I am your (AE)servant.

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.
