Psalms 143

A Psalm of David.

1HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, 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 to thee: my soulH5315 thirsteth after thee, as a thirstyH5889 landH776. SelahH5542.

7HearH6030 me speedilyH4118, O LORDH3068: my spiritH7307 failethH3615: hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me, lest I be likeH4911 them that go downH3381 into the pitH953.1 8Cause me to hearH8085 thy lovingkindnessH2617 in the morningH1242; for in thee do I trustH982: cause me to knowH3045 the wayH1870 in whichH2098 I should walkH3212; for I lift upH5375 my soulH5315 to thee. 9DeliverH5337 me, O LORDH3068, from my enemiesH341: I flee to thee to hideH3680 me.2 10TeachH3925 me to doH6213 thy willH7522; for thou art my GodH430: thy spiritH7307 is goodH2896; leadH5148 me into the landH776 of uprightnessH4334. 11ReviveH2421 me, O LORDH3068, for thy name’sH8034 sake: for thy righteousnessH6666’ sake bringH3318 my soulH5315 out of troubleH6869. 12And of thy mercyH2617 cut offH6789 my enemiesH341, and destroyH6 all them that afflictH6887 my soulH5315: for I am thy servantH5650.
