Psalms 143

I Spread Out My Hands to You

{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.

An Earnest Appeal for Guidance and Deliverance

A Psalm of David.

Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my supplications!
In Your faithfulness answer me,
And in Your righteousness.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.

Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no one living is righteous.

For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in [a]darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.

And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.

I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.

I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I [b]muse on the work of Your hands.

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. Selah.

I spread out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
Lest I [c]be like those who [d]go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.

Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
[e]In You I take shelter.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.

Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;

Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.

And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.

In Your mercy cut[f] off my enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
For I am Your servant.
