Psalms 143
Prayer for Deliverance and Guidance.
A Psalm of David.
1Hear my prayer, O Lord, 1Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your 2faithfulness, in Your 3righteousness!2And 4do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight 5no man living is righteous.3For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life 6to the ground; He 7has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.4Therefore 8my spirit 9is overwhelmed within me; My heart is 1011appalled within me.
5I 12remember the days of old; I 13meditate on all Your doings; I 14muse on the work of Your hands.6I 15stretch out my hands to You; My 16soul longs for You, as a 17parched land. 18Selah.
719Answer me quickly, O Lord, my 20spirit fails; 21Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like 22those who go down to the pit.8Let me hear Your 23lovingkindness 24in the morning; For I trust 25in You; Teach me the 26way in which I should walk; For to You I 27lift up my soul.928Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; 29I take refuge in You.
1030Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let 31Your good Spirit 32lead me on level 33ground.1134For the sake of Your name, O Lord, 35revive me. 36In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.12And in Your lovingkindness, 3738cut off my enemies And 39destroy all those who afflict my soul, For 40I am Your servant.
