Context of Psalms 143:8

6I raise my hands to pray to you. I need you to help me, like dry ground needs rain. Selah 7Please answer me soon, Lord. I am losing my strength. Do not turn away from me. If you do, I will join those people who are going down into the deep hole of death. Every morning, help me to remember your faithful love, because I am trusting in you. Show me how I should live to please you, because I know that I belong to you. 9Lord, save me from my enemies. I run to you to keep me safe. 10Teach me to do what pleases you, because you are my God. Let your kind Spirit lead me, so that I can walk in a safe place.
