143:1 This is a song that David wrote. Lord, I pray to you for help. Please listen to me. Answer me, because you do what is right, and I know that I can trust you.
143:2 Do not judge me, your servant. Nobody is righteous when they stand in front of you.
143:3 My enemies are chasing me. They knock me down to the ground. They make me live in dark places, like people who have been dead for a long time.
143:4 My strength is leaving me, and I feel very upset.
143:5 I remember what happened many years ago. I think carefully about all the good things that you have done.
143:6 I raise my hands to pray to you. I need you to help me, like dry ground needs rain. Selah
143:7 Please answer me soon, Lord. I am losing my strength. Do not turn away from me. If you do, I will join those people who are going down into the deep hole of death.
143:8 Every morning, help me to remember your faithful love, because I am trusting in you. Show me how I should live to please you, because I know that I belong to you.
143:9 Lord, save me from my enemies. I run to you to keep me safe.
143:10 Teach me to do what pleases you, because you are my God. Let your kind Spirit lead me, so that I can walk in a safe place.
143:11 Your name is great, Lord, so please keep my life safe. You do what is right, so bring me out of my troubles.
143:12 I am your servant and you always love me. Please show how much you love me, and destroy my enemies. Yes, kill all those who want to kill me!
