Context of Psalms 143:10
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. Teach 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.
