Psalms 143

² And enter not into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight no man living is righteous or justified. ³ For the enemy has pursued and persecuted my soul, he has crushed my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in dark places as those who have been long dead. ⁴ Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed and faints within me ; my heart within my bosom grows numb. ⁵ I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I ponder the work of Your hands. ⁶ I spread forth my hands to You; my soul thirsts after You like a thirsty land . Selah ! ⁷ Answer me speedily, O Lord, for my spirit fails; hide not Your face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit (the grave). ⁸ Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for on You do I lean and in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to You. ⁹ Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I flee to You to hide me. ¹⁰ Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; let Your good Spirit lead me into a level country and into the land of uprightness. ¹¹ Save my life, O Lord, for Your name's sake; in Your righteousness, bring my life out of trouble and free me from distress. ¹² And in your mercy and loving-kindness, cut off my enemies and destroy all those who afflict my inner self, for I am Your servant.
