Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.143
[1] Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications:
in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
[2] And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in
thy sight shall no man living be justified.
[3] For 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.
[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 thy
works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
[6] I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth
after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
[7] Hear 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.
[8] Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness 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.
[9] Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto
thee to hide me.
[10] Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy
spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
[11] Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy
righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
[12] And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy
all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
