Psalms 143 (KJV)

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