143:1 A psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
143:2 Don't put your servant on trial, for no one is innocent before you.
143:3 My enemy has chased me. He has knocked me to the ground and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.
143:4 I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear.
143:5 I remember the days of old. I ponder all your great works and think about what you have done.
143:6 I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Interlude
143:7 Come quickly, LORD, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don't turn away from me, or I will die.
143:8 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.
143:9 Rescue me from my enemies, LORD; I run to you to hide me.
143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.
143:11 For the glory of your name, O LORD, preserve my life. Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.
143:12 In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies and destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
