Psalms
143
- O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry
for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
- Do not bring your servant into judgment,
for no one living is righteous before you.
- The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the
ground; he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
- So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart
within me is dismayed.
- I remember the days of long ago; I meditate
on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
- I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts
for you like a parched land. Selah
- Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to 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 lift up my soul.
- Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I
hide myself in you.
- Teach me to do your will, for you are my
God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
- For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my
life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
- In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
