Psalms 143

My Soul Thirsts for You

A Psalm of David.

Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your 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.

Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.

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

For the enemy has pursued my soul;
he has crushed my life to the ground;
he has made me sit in darkness like those 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.

Therefore my spirit faints within me;
my heart within me is appalled.

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

I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.

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

I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah

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

Answer me quickly, O Lord!
My spirit fails!
Hide not your face from me,
lest I be like those who go down to 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.

Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you 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 from my enemies, O Lord!
I have fled to you for refuge.a

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

Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit lead me
on level ground!

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

For your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life!
In your 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 your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies,
and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul,
for I am your servant.

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