New Living Translation

New King James Version

Psalms 143

A psalm of David.

Hear my prayer, O LORD;
listen to my plea!
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.

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.

Don’t put your servant on trial,
for no one is innocent before you.

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

My enemy has chased me.
He has knocked me to the ground
and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.

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.

I am losing all hope;
I am paralyzed with fear.

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

I remember the days of old.
I ponder all your great works
and think about what you have done.

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

I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.
Interlude

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

Come quickly, LORD, and answer me,
for my depression deepens.
Don’t turn away from me,
or I will die.

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 of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you.

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;
I run to you to hide me.

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 gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing.

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

For the glory of your name, O LORD, preserve my life.
Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.

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

In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies
and 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.
