143:1  A song of David. Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for mercy. Come to help me because you are loyal and good.
143:2  Don’t judge me, your servant, because no one alive is right before you.
143:3  My enemies are chasing me. They have crushed me to the ground. They have made me live in darkness like those who are long dead.
143:4  I am afraid. My courage is gone.
143:5  I remember what happened long ago. I recall everything you have done. I think about all you have made.
143:6  I lift my hands to you in prayer. As a dry land needs rain, I thirst for you. Selah
143:7  Lord, answer me quickly. I am getting weak. Don’t turn away from me, or I will be like those who are dead.
143:8  Tell me in the morning about your love. I trust you. Show me what I should do because my prayers go up to you.
143:9  Lord, save me from my enemies. I come to you for safety.
143:10  Teach me to do what you want, because you are my God. Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
143:11  Lord, let me live so people will praise you. In your goodness save me from my troubles.
143:12  In your love defeat my enemies. Destroy all those who trouble me because I am your servant.
