143:1 (A psalm by David.) Listen, Lord, as I pray! You are faithful and honest and will answer my prayer.
143:2 I am your servant. Don't try me in your court, because no one is innocent by your standards.
143:3 My enemies are chasing me, crushing me in the ground. I am in total darkness, like someone long dead.
143:4 I have given up hope, and I feel numb all over.
143:5 I remember to think about the many things you did in years gone by.
143:6 Then I lift my hands in prayer, because my soul is a desert, thirsty for water from you.
143:7 Please hurry, Lord, and answer my prayer. I feel hopeless. Don't turn away and leave me here to die.
143:8 Each morning let me learn more about your love because I trust you. I come to you in prayer, asking for your guidance.
143:9 Please rescue me from my enemies, Lord! I come to you for safety.
143:10 You are my God. Show me what you want me to do, and let your gentle Spirit lead me in the right path.
143:11 Be true to your name, Lord, and keep my life safe. Use your saving power to protect me from trouble.
143:12 I am your servant. Show how much you love me by destroying my enemies.
