Psalms 143

¹A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, Answer me in Your faithfulness—in Your righteousness.

²And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.

³For 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.

⁴And my spirit has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.

⁵I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.

⁶I have spread forth my hands to You, My soul is as a weary land for You. Selah.

⁷Hurry, 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.

⁸Cause 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.

⁹Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You I am covered.

¹⁰Teach me to do Your good pleasure, For You are my God—Your Spirit is good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.

¹¹You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress,

¹²And in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I am Your servant!
