# Chapter 143
|
|
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
|
|
give ear to my pleas for mercy!
|
|
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
|
|
2 Enter not into judgment with your servant,
|
|
for no one living is righteous before you.
|
|
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul;
|
|
he has crushed my life to the ground;
|
|
he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
|
|
4 Therefore my spirit faints within me;
|
|
my heart within me is appalled.
|
|
5 I remember the days of old;
|
|
I meditate on all that you have done;
|
|
I ponder the work of your hands.
|
|
6 I stretch out my hands to you;
|
|
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah
|
|
7 Answer me quickly, O Lord!
|
|
My spirit fails!
|
|
Hide not your face from me,
|
|
lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
|
|
8 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
|
|
for in you I trust.
|
|
Make me know the way I should go,
|
|
for to you I lift up my soul.
|
|
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord!
|
|
I have fled to you for refuge.
|
|
10 Teach me to do your will,
|
|
for you are my God!
|
|
Let your good Spirit lead me
|
|
on level ground!
|
|
11 For your name's sake, O Lord, preserve my life!
|
|
In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!
|
|
12 And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies,
|
|
and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul,
|
|
for I am your servant. |
