Psalms 143

Psalm 143
A psalm of David.

Lord, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief.

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.

Do not bring your servant into judgment,
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.

The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in the 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.

So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.

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

I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.

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

I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land.a

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

Answer me quickly, Lord;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will 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 the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.

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.

Rescue me from my enemies, Lord,
for I hide myself 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;
may 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, Lord, preserve my life;
in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

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

In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes,
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.
