143:1  A psalm of David. Lord, hear my prayer. In your faithfulness listen to my plea, and in your righteousness answer me.
143:2  Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous in your sight.
143:3  For the enemy has pursued me, crushing me to the ground, making me live in darkness like those long dead.
143:4  My spirit is weak within me; my heart is overcome with dismay.
143:5  I remember the days of old; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on the work of your hands.
143:6  I spread out my hands to you; I am like parched land before you.Selah
143:7  Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, or I will be like those going down to the Pit.
143:8  Let me experience your faithful love in the morning, for I trust in you. Reveal to me the way I should go because I appeal to you.
143:9  Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I come to you for protection.
143:10  Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me on level ground.
143:11  For your name’s sake, Lord, let me live. In your righteousness deliver me from trouble,
143:12  and in your faithful love destroy my enemies. Wipe out all those who attack me, for I am your servant.
