Psalm 143:1-12

Psalms

(A psalm of David’s.)

143 Jehovah, hear my prayer,

give ear to my supplication,

in your faithfulness answer me with your right-doing,

2 And do not take your servant into court,

because no one living will be in the right before you.

3 For an enemy has persecuted my soul,

beaten my life down to the ground,

Seated me in places of darkness

like men long since dead,

4 And my spirit has failed,

my heart is aghast within me.

5 I remember ancient days,

muse on all your doings,

ponder the work of your hands.

6 I spread out my hands to you;

my soul looks to you as does a country perishing with drought.

(Selah)

7 Answer me quickly, Jehovah;

my spirit has given out.

Do not veil your face from me

and have me be like those who are down in the Pit.

8 Let me hear of your friendship in the morning,

because I am confident in you.

Make known to me the road I am to go,

because I lift my soul to you.

9 Deliver me from my enemies, Jehovah;

to you I flee.

10 Teach me to do as is acceptable to you,

because you are my God.

Your spirit is good; let it lead me

over level ground.

11 For the sake of your name, Jehovah, you will give me life;

in your right-doing you will bring my soul out of distress,

12 And in your friendship you will annihilate my enemies

and destroy all the assailants of my soul,

because I am your servant.
