143:1 Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
143:2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground. He hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy works; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a thirsty land. Selah
143:7 Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit faileth. Hide not Thy face from me, lest I be like them that go down into the pit.
143:8 Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto Thee.
143:9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies; I flee unto Thee to hide me.
143:10 Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God. Thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
143:11 Quicken me, O Lord, for Thy name’s sake; for Thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
143:12 And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul; for I am Thy servant.
