143:1  Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
143:2  And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
143:3  For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
143:4  Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate.
143:5  I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands.
143:6  I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Selah
143:7  Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
143:8  Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.
143:9  Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
143:10  Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness.
143:11  Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
143:12  And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant.
