Psalm 143
143
A Prayer for Deliverance and Guidance
A Psalm of David.
1Hear my prayer, O Lord,
give ear to my supplications:
in thy faithfulness answer me,
and in thy righteousness.
2 #
Rom 3.20; Gal 2.16. And enter not into judgment with thy servant:
for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul;
he hath smitten my life down to the ground;
he hath made me to dwell in darkness,
as those that have been long dead.
4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me;
my heart within me is desolate.
5I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all thy works;
I muse on the work of thy hands.
6I stretch forth my hands unto thee:
my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7Hear me speedily, O Lord;
my spirit faileth:
hide not thy face from me,
lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning;
for in thee do I trust:
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk;
for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies:
I flee unto thee to hide me.
10Teach me to do thy will;
for thou art my God:
thy Spirit is good;
lead me into the land of uprightness.
11Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake:
for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies,
and destroy all them that afflict my soul:
for I am thy servant.
