143:1 Lord, hear my prayer. Give ear to my cry for mercy. In your faithfulness, answer me in your righteousness.
143:2 Do not bring charges against your servant, because no one living can be righteous before you.
143:3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He crushes my life to the ground. He makes me dwell in dark places like those long dead,
143:4 so my spirit grows faint inside me. Within me my heart is devastated.
143:5 I remember the days of long ago. I meditate on all your works, and I consider what your hands have done.
143:6 I spread out my hands to you. Interlude My soul thirsts for you like a weary land.
143:7 Hurry! Answer me, Lord. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
143:8 Let me hear about your mercy in the morning, for I trust in you. Teach me the way that I should go, for I lift up my soul to you.
143:9 Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in you.
143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
143:11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, preserve my life. In your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
143:12 In your mercy, wipe out my enemies, and destroy all who threaten my life, for I am your servant.
