Psalms 143:9

Compare all

7 Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
^aLest I¹ be like those who go down into the pit.

8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness ^ain the morning,
For in You do I trust;
^bCause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For ^cI lift up my soul to You.

9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
¹In You I take shelter.

10 ^aTeach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
^bYour Spirit is good.
Lead me in ^cthe land of uprightness.

11 ^aRevive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.

Psalms 143:9

Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies - See the notes at Psalms 69:14.

I flee unto thee to hide me - Margin, "Hide me with thee." The Hebrew is, I hide myself with thee; that is, I take refuge with thee; I put myself under thy protection; I make myself thus secure, as thou art secure. See the notes at Psalms 17:8. Compare Psalms 27:5; Psalms 31:20.
