Psalms Chapter 143 (NIV)

undefined Psalm 143A psalm of David.O Lord, hear my prayer,listen to my cry for mercy;in your faithfulness and righteousnesscome to my relief.
undefined Do not bring your servant into judgment,for no one living is righteous before you.
undefined The enemy pursues me,he crushes me to the ground;he makes me dwell in darknesslike those long dead.
undefined So my spirit grows faint within me;my heart within me is dismayed.
undefined I remember the days of long ago;I meditate on all your worksand consider what your hands have done.
undefined I spread out my hands to you;my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah
undefined Answer me quickly, O Lord;my spirit fails.Do not hide your face from meor I will be like those who go down to the pit.
undefined Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,for I have put my trust in you.Show me the way I should go,for to you I lift up my soul.
undefined Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord,for I hide myself in you.
undefined Teach me to do your will,for you are my God;may your good Spiritlead me on level ground.
undefined For your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life;in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
undefined In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;destroy all my foes,for I am your servant.
