Psalm 143
A Psalm of
David.
1 Hear my
prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy
faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for
in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
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 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my
heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy
works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul
thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide
not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that
go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the
morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know
the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul
unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto
thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy
spirit is good; lead me into the land of
uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy
righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and
destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy
servant.
