Psalms 143

Psalm 143
A Psalm of David.
1¶ Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my supplications for the sake of thy truth; answer me for the sake of thy righteousness.
2And enter not into judgment with thy slave; for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4Therefore my spirit has become overwhelmed within me; my heart within me has become desolate.
5I remembered the days of old; I meditated on all thy works; I mused on the work of thy hands.
6I stretched forth my hands unto thee; my soul thirsted after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7¶ Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit fails; hide not thy face from me lest I be like those that go down into the grave.
8Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning, for in thee do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I flee unto thee.
10Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Let thy good Spirit lead me into the land of uprightness.
11By thy name, O Lord, thou shalt give me life; by thy righteousness thou shalt bring my soul out of trouble.
12And by thy mercy thou shalt scatter my enemies and destroy all the adversaries of my soul; for I am thy slave.
