Psalms 143

143
PSALM 143
1 The psalm of David. Lord, hear thou my prayer, with ears perceive thou my beseeching; in thy truth hear thou me, in thy rightwiseness.
2And enter thou not into doom with thy servant; for each man living shall not be made just [or justified] in thy sight.
3For the enemy pursued my soul; he made low my life in [the] earth. He hath set me in dark places, as the dead men of the world,
4and my spirit was anguished on me; mine heart was troubled in me.
5I was mindful of eld [or old] days, I bethought in all thy works; I be-thought in the deeds of thine hands.
6I held forth mine hands to thee; my soul was as earth without water to thee.
7Lord, hear thou me swiftly; my spirit failed. Turn thou not away thy face from me; and I shall be like them that go down into the pit.
8Make thou early thy mercy heard to me; for I hoped in thee. Make thou known to me the way in which I shall go; for I raised my soul to thee.
9Deliver thou me from mine enemies; Lord, I fled to thee;
10teach thou me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me forth into a rightful [or right] land;
11Lord, for thy name thou shalt quicken me in thine equity. Thou shalt lead my soul out of tribulation;
12and in thy mercy thou shalt scatter mine enemies. And thou shalt lose all them, that trouble my soul; for I am thy servant.
