Psalms 143
Prayer for Help and Guidance.
A Psalm of David.
1Hear my prayer, Lord, 1Listen to my pleadings! Answer me in Your 2faithfulness, in Your 3righteousness!2And 4do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For 5no person living is righteous in Your sight.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 9feels weak within me; My heart is 1011appalled within me.
5I 12remember the days of old; I 13meditate on all Your accomplishments; I 14reflect on the work of Your hands.6I 15spread out my hands to You; My 16soul longs for You, like a weary land. Selah
717Answer me quickly, Lord, my 18spirit fails; 19Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will be the same as 20those who go down to the pit.8Let me hear Your 21faithfulness 22in the morning, For I trust 23in You; Teach me the 24way in which I should walk; For to You I 25lift up my soul.926Save me, Lord, from my enemies; 27I take refuge in You.
1028Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let 29Your good Spirit 30lead me on level 31ground.1132For the sake of Your name, Lord, 33revive me. 34In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.12And in Your faithfulness, 3536destroy my enemies, And 37eliminate all those who attack my soul, For 38I am Your servant.
