143:1 A psalm of David. Hear my prayer, Adonai, give ear to my petitions. In Your faithfulness and Your righteousness, answer me!
143:2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for in Your eyes no one living is righteous.
143:3 For an enemy pursues my soul. He crushes my life down to the ground. He makes me dwell in darkness, like those long dead.
143:4 So my spirit grows faint within me. My heart is shocked within me.
143:5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all You have done. I ponder the work of Your hands.
143:6 I spread forth my hands to You. My soul longs for You as a parched land. Selah
143:7 Answer me speedily, Adonai—my spirit fails. Hide not Your face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the Pit.
143:8 Make me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You I trust. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul.
143:9 Deliver me from my enemies, Adonai. I hide myself in You.
143:10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Let Your good Ruach lead me on level ground.
143:11 For Your Name’s sake, Adonai, revive me. In Your justice bring my soul out of trouble.
143:12 In Your mercy cut off my enemies and destroy all who harass my soul, for I am Your servant.
