Psalm 143

1. 1

   LORD, hear my prayer, and in your faithfulness heed my supplications; *
   answer me in your righteousness.

2. 2

   Enter not into judgment with your servant, *
   for in your sight shall no one living be justified.

3. 3

   For my enemy has sought my life; he has crushed me to the ground; *
   he has made me live in dark places like those who are long dead.

4. 4

   My spirit faints within me; *
   my heart within me is desolate.

5. 5

   I remember the time past; I muse upon all your deeds; *
   I consider the works of your hands.

6. 6

   I spread out my hands to you; *
   my soul gasps to you like a thirsty land.

7. 7

   O LORD, make haste to answer me; my spirit fails me; *
   do not hide your face from me or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.

8. 8

   Let me hear of your loving-kindness in the morning, for I put my trust in you; *
   show me the road that I must walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

9. 9

   Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD, *
   for I flee to you for refuge.

10. 10

    Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God; *
    let your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

11. 11

    Revive me, O LORD, for your Name's sake; *
    for your righteousness' sake, bring me out of trouble.

12. 12

    Of your goodness, destroy my enemies and bring all my foes to naught, *
    for truly I am your servant.
