143:1 A praise song of David. Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my call for help and answer my prayer. Show me how good and loyal you are.
143:2 Don’t judge me, your servant. No one alive could be judged innocent by your standards.
143:3 My enemies are chasing me. They have crushed me into the dirt. They are pushing me into the dark grave, like people who died long ago.
143:4 I am ready to give up. I am losing my courage.
143:5 But I remember what happened long ago. I am thinking about all you have done. I am talking about what you made with your hands!
143:6 I lift my hands in prayer to you. I am waiting for your help, like a dry land waiting for rain. Selah
143:7 Hurry and answer me, Lord! I have lost my courage. Don’t turn away from me. Don’t let me die and become like the people lying in the grave.
143:8 Show me your faithful love this morning. I trust in you. Show me what I should do. I put my life in your hands!
143:9 Lord, I come to you for protection. Save me from my enemies.
143:10 Show me what you want me to do. You are my God. Let your good Spirit lead me over level ground.
143:11 Lord, let me live so that people will praise your name. Show me how good you are and save me from my trouble.
143:12 Show me your love and defeat my enemies. Destroy those who are trying to kill me because I am your servant.
