Psalms 143

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, hear my prayer, || Give ear to my supplications, || Answer me in Your faithfulness—in Your righteousness. 2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, || For no one living is justified before You. 3 For an enemy has pursued my soul, || He has bruised my life to the earth, || He has caused me to dwell in dark places, || As the dead of old. 4 And my spirit has become feeble in me, || My heart has become desolate within me. 5 I have remembered days of old, || I have meditated on all Your acts, || I muse on the work of Your hand. 6 I have spread out my hands to You, || My soul is as a weary land for You. Selah. 7 Hurry, answer me, O YHWH, || My spirit has been consumed, || Do not hide Your face from me, || Or I have been compared with those going down to the pit. 8 Cause me to hear Your kindness in the morning, || For I have trusted in You, || Cause me to know the way that I go, || For I have lifted up my soul to You. 9 Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, || Near You I am covered. 10 Teach me to do Your good pleasure, || For You are my God—Your spirit is good, || Lead me into a land of uprightness. 11 You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, || In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress, 12 And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, || And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, || For I am Your servant!
