143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness; answer me in your righteousness.
143:2 Do not enter into judgement with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.
143:3 For the enemy has pursued me, crushing my life to the ground, making me sit in darkness like those long dead.
143:4 Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled.
143:5 I remember the days of old, I think about all your deeds, I meditate on the works of your hands.
143:6 I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.Selah
143:7 Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
143:8 Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, for in you I put my trust. Teach me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
143:9 Save me, O Lord, from my enemies; I have fled to you for refuge.
143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.
143:11 For your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life. In your righteousness bring me out of trouble.
143:12 In your steadfast love cut off my enemies, and destroy all my adversaries, for I am your servant.
