# Chapter 143
|
||
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. |
