Chapter 143
|
1
|
Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications:
in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. |
2
|
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in
thy sight shall no man living be justified. |
3
|
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten
my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell
in darkness, as those that have been long dead. |
4
|
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart
within me is desolate. |
5
|
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works;
I muse on the work of thy hands. |
6
|
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth
after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. |
7
|
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not
thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down
into the pit. |
8
|
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning;
for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein
I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. |
9
|
Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto
thee to hide me. |
10
|
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit
is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. |
11
|
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness'
sake bring my soul out of trouble. |
12
|
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy
all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. |
