Psalm
Psalm, 143
A melody of David.
1 O Jehovah, hear my prayer; Listen to my plea for help. In your faithfulness and in your righteousness, answer me.
2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, For no one living can be righteous before you.
3 For the enemy pursues me;*1 He has crushed my life into the ground. He has caused me to dwell in darkness like those long dead.
|
4 My spirit*1 is failing; My heart is numb within me.
|
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your activity; I eagerly ponder over*1 the work of your hands.
|
6 I spread out my hands to you; I am*1 like a parched land that thirsts for you. (Selah)
|
7 Do answer me quickly, O Jehovah; My strength*1 has come to an end. Do not hide your face from me, Or I will be like those going down into the pit.*2
|
8 Let me hear your loyal love in the morning, For I trust in you. Make known to me the way I should walk, For to you I turn.*1
|
9 Rescue me from my enemies, O Jehovah. I seek your protection.
10 Teach me to do your will, For you are my God. Your spirit is good; May it lead me on level ground.*1
|
11 For the sake of your name, O Jehovah, preserve me alive. In your righteousness, rescue me*1 from distress.
|
12 In your loyal love, put an end to*1 my enemies; Destroy all those harassing me,*2 For I am your servant.
