Psalms 143

Hear my prayer, O LORD,
Give ear to my supplications!
Answer me in Your faithfulness, 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.

And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no man living is righteous.

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

For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been 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 is overwhelmed within me;
My heart is appalled within me.

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

I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your doings;
I muse on 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 longs for You, as a parched land.

Selah.

Answer me quickly, O LORD, my spirit fails;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Teach me the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.

Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies;
I take refuge in You.

Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me.
In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies
And destroy all those who afflict my soul,
For I am Your servant.

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;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become 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 Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Teach me the way in which I should walk;
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, O LORD, from my enemies;
I take refuge in You.

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 the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me.
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 lovingkindness, cut off my enemies
And destroy all those who afflict 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.
