# Chapter 143
|
||
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
|
||
listen to my plea!
|
||
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
|
||
2 Don’t put your servant on trial,
|
||
for no one is innocent before you.
|
||
3 My enemy has chased me.
|
||
He has knocked me to the ground
|
||
and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.
|
||
4 I am losing all hope;
|
||
I am paralyzed with fear.
|
||
5 I remember the days of old.
|
||
I ponder all your great works
|
||
and think about what you have done.
|
||
6 I lift my hands to you in prayer.
|
||
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Interlude
|
||
7 Come quickly, Lord, and answer me,
|
||
for my depression deepens.
|
||
Don’t turn away from me,
|
||
or I will die.
|
||
8 Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
|
||
for I am trusting you.
|
||
Show me where to walk,
|
||
for I give myself to you.
|
||
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Lord;
|
||
I run to you to hide me.
|
||
10 Teach me to do your will,
|
||
for you are my God.
|
||
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
|
||
on a firm footing.
|
||
11 For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve my life.
|
||
Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.
|
||
12 In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies
|
||
and destroy all my foes,
|
||
for I am your servant. |
