143:1 A psalm of David. Lord, hear my prayer; in your faithfulness listen to my pleading; answer me in your righteousness.
143:2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant; before you no one can be just.
143:3 The enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground. He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
143:4 My spirit is faint within me; my heart despairs.
143:5 I remember the days of old; I ponder all your deeds; the works of your hands I recall.
143:6 I stretch out my hands toward you, my soul to you like a parched land. Selah
143:7 Hasten to answer me, Lord; for my spirit fails me. Do not hide your face from me, lest I become like those descending to the pit.
143:8 In the morning let me hear of your mercy, for in you I trust. Show me the path I should walk, for I entrust my life to you.
143:9 Rescue me, Lord, from my foes, for I seek refuge in you.
143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your kind spirit guide me on ground that is level.
143:11 For your name’s sake, Lord, give me life; in your righteousness lead my soul out of distress.
143:12 In your mercy put an end to my foes; all those who are oppressing my soul, for I am your servant.
