| Chapter 143 |
1 |
Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. |
2 |
Don`t enter into judgment with your servant, For in your sight no man living is righteous. |
3 |
For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead. |
4 |
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate. |
5 |
I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands. |
6 |
I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. |
7 |
Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don`t hide your face from me, So that I don`t become like those who go down into the pit. |
8 |
Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning, For I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to you. |
9 |
Deliver me, Yahweh, from my 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 |
Revive me, Yahweh, for your name`s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble. |
12 |
In your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant. Psalm 144 By David. |
