Psalm 143

Revised Version 1895

A Psalm of David.

1HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068; giveH238 earH238 to my supplicationsH8469: in thy faithfulnessH530 answerH6030 meH413, and in thy righteousnessH6666.
2And enterH935 notH3808 intoH935 judgmentH4941 with thy servantH5650; for in thy sightH6440 shall noH3808 manH3605 livingH2416 be justifiedH6663.
3For the enemyH341 hath persecutedH7291 my soulH5315; he hath smitten my lifeH5315 downH3427 to the groundH776: he hath made meH5315 to dwellH3427 in darkH4285 placesH4285, as thoseH3588 that have been longH5769 deadH4191.
4Therefore is my spiritH7307 overwhelmed withinH8432 meH5921; my heartH3820 withinH8432 meH5921 is desolateH8074.
5I rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of old; I meditateH7878 on allH3605 thy doingsH6467: I museH7878 on the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
6I spreadH6566 forth my handsH3027 unto thee: my soulH5315 thirsteth afterH413 thee, as a wearyH5889 landH776. SelahH5542
7MakeH3615 haste to answerH6030 meH6440, O LORDH3068; my spiritH7307 faileth: hideH5641 notH408 thy faceH6440 from meH6440; lest I become like them that goH3381 downH3381 intoH3381 the pitH953.
8Cause meH413 to hearH8085 thy lovingkindness in the morningH1242; for in thee doH8085 I trustH982: cause meH413 to knowH3045 the wayH1870 wherein I should walkH1870; for I liftH5375 upH5375 my soulH5315 unto thee.
9DeliverH5337 meH413, O LORDH3068, from mine enemiesH341: I flee unto thee to hideH3680 meH413.
10TeachH3925 meH3925 to doH6213 thy will; for thou art my GodH433: thy spiritH7307 is goodH2896; leadH5148 meH3925 in the landH776 of uprightnessH4334.
11Quicken meH5315, O LORDH3068, for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616: in thy righteousnessH6666 bringH3318 my soulH5315 outH3318 of troubleH6869.
12And in thy lovingkindness cutH6789 offH6789 mine enemiesH341, and destroyH6 allH3605 them that afflict my soulH5315; for I am thy servantH5650.
