# Chapter 143
|
||
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
|
||
Give ear to my supplications!
|
||
In Your faithfulness answer me,
|
||
And in Your righteousness.
|
||
2 Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
|
||
For in Your sight no one living is righteous.
|
||
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
|
||
He has crushed my life to the ground;
|
||
He has made me dwell in darkness,
|
||
Like those who have long been dead.
|
||
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
|
||
My heart within me is distressed.
|
||
5 I remember the days of old;
|
||
I meditate on all Your works;
|
||
I muse on the work of Your hands.
|
||
6 I spread out my hands to You;
|
||
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah
|
||
7 Answer me speedily, O Lord;
|
||
My spirit fails!
|
||
Do not hide Your face from me,
|
||
Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
|
||
8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
|
||
For in You do I trust;
|
||
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
|
||
For I lift up my soul to You.
|
||
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
|
||
In You I take shelter.
|
||
10 Teach me to do Your will,
|
||
For You are my God;
|
||
Your Spirit is good.
|
||
Lead me in the land of uprightness.
|
||
11 Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
|
||
For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
|
||
12 In Your mercy cut off my enemies,
|
||
And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
|
||
For I am Your servant. |
