143:1 1 An earnest prayer for remission of sins, acknowledging that the enemies did thus cruelly persecute him by God’s just judgment. 8 He desireth to be restored to grace, 10 To be governeth by his holy Spirit, that he may spend the remnant of his life in the true fear and service of God. A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and hearken unto my supplication: answer me in thy truth, and in thy righteousness.
143:2 (And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall none that liveth, be justified.)
143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath smitten my life down to the earth: he hath laid me in the darkness, as they that have been dead long ago:
143:4 And my spirit was in perplexity in me, and mine heart within me was amazed.
143:5 Yet do I remember the time past: I meditate in all thy works, yea, I do meditate in the works of thine hands.
143:6 I stretch forth mine hands unto thee: my soul desireth after thee, as the thirsty land. Selah.
143:7 Hear me speedily, O Lord, for my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, else I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.
143:8 Let me hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee is my trust; show me the way, that I should walk in, for I lift up my soul unto thee.
143:9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: for I hid me with thee.
143:10 Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me unto the land of righteousness.
143:11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy Name’s sake, and for thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
143:12 And for thy mercy slay mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
