Psalm 143A Cry for
|
|
Help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Lord, hear my prayer.
|
|
In your faithfulness listen to my plea,
|
|
and in your righteousness answer me.
|
|
|
|
2. Do not bring your servant into judgment,
|
|
for no one alive is righteous in your sight.
|
|
|
|
3. For the enemy has pursued me,
|
|
crushing me to the ground,
|
|
making me live in darkness
|
|
like those long dead.
|
|
|
|
4. My spirit is weak within me;
|
|
my heart is overcome with dismay.
|
|
|
|
5. I remember the days of old;
|
|
I meditate on all you have done;
|
|
I reflect on the work of your hands.
|
|
|
|
6. I spread out my hands to you;
|
|
I am like parched land before you.Selah
|
|
|
|
7. Answer me quickly, Lord;
|
|
my spirit fails.
|
|
Don't hide your face from me,
|
|
or I will be like those
|
|
going down to the Pit.
|
|
|
|
8. Let me experience
|
|
your faithful love in the morning,
|
|
for I trust in you.
|
|
|
|
Reveal to me the way I should go
|
|
because I appeal to you.
|
|
|
|
9. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord;
|
|
I come to you for protection.
|
|
|
|
10. Teach me to do your will,
|
|
for you are my God.
|
|
|
|
May your gracious Spirit
|
|
lead me on level ground.
|
|
|
|
11. For your name's sake, Lord,
|
|
let me live.
|
|
In your righteousness deliver me from trouble,
|
|
|
|
12. and in your faithful love destroy my enemies.
|
|
Wipe out all those who attack me,
|
|
for I am your servant.
