Ps 143

0 Psalm 143 A Psalm of David. 1 Hear my prayer, O YHWH; give ear to my supplications: In your faithfulness answer me, [and] in your righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with your servant; For in your sight no man living is righteous. 3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has smitten my life down to the ground: He has made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. 4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate. 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your doings; I muse on the work of your hands. 6 I spread forth my hands to you: My soul [thirsts] after you, as a weary land. Selah 7 Make haste to answer me, O YHWH; my spirit fails: Hide not your face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit. 8 Cause me to hear your lovingkindness 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 to you. 9 Deliver me, O YHWH, from mine enemies: I flee to you to hide me. 10 Teach me to do your will; For you are my God: Your Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness. 11 Quicken me, O YHWH, for your name`s sake: In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. 12 And in your lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am your servant.
