Psalms 143:1-7

1HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O YhwhH3068, give earH238 to my supplicationsH8469: in thy faithfulnessH530 answerH6030 me, and in thy righteousnessH6666.

2And enterH935 not into judgmentH4941 with thy servantH5650: for in thy sightH6440 shall no man livingH2416 be justifiedH6663.

3For the enemyH341 hath persecutedH7291 my soulH5315; he hath smittenH1792 my lifeH2416 downH1792 to the groundH776; he hath made me to dwellH3427 in darknessH4285, as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.

4Therefore is my spiritH7307 overwhelmedH5848 within me; my heartH3820 withinH8432 me is desolateH8074.

5I rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH6924; I meditateH1897 on all thy worksH6467; I museH7878 on the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.

6I stretch forthH6566 my handsH3027 unto thee: my soulH5315 thirsteth after thee, as a thirstyH5889 landH776. SelahH5542.

7HearH6030 me speedilyH4118, O YhwhH3068: my spiritH7307 failethH3615: hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me, lest I be likeH4911 unto them that go downH3381 into the pitH953.1
