Psalms 143

A Psalm of David.

1Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications:In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.2And enter not into judgment with thy servant;For in thy sight no man living is righteous.3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul;He hath smitten my life down to the ground:He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me;My heart within me is desolate.5I remember the days of old;I meditate on all thy doings;I muse on the work of thy hands.6I spread forth my hands unto thee:My soulthirstethafter thee, as a weary land.[Selah7Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth:Hide not thy face from me,Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.8Cause 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.9Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies:I flee unto thee to hide me.10Teach me to do thy will;For thou art my God:Thy Spirit is good;Lead me in the land of uprightness.11Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name’s sake:In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.12And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies,And destroy all them that afflict my soul;For I am thy servant.
