143:2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight no one living is righteous, |
143:3 For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has beaten my life down to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness, as those long dead. |
143:4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart is weary within me. |
143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands. |
143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto You; my soul thirsts after You like a parched land. Selah. |
143:7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails; do not hide Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit. |
143:8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for I do trust in You; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto You. |
143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; I flee to You to hide me. |
143:10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground of uprightness. |
143:11 O LORD, for Your name's sake quicken me; in Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. |
143:12 And in Your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am Your servant. |
