Psalms
Chapter
143
1
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah/God,
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 shall no man living be justified.
3
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul;
he
has smitten my life down to the ground;
he
has 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 your works;
I
muse on the work of your hands.
6
I stretch forth my hands unto thee:
my
soul thirsteth after thee,
as
a thirsty land.
Selah
{Selah means singers rest and instruments play on -
it is a picture of you resting while the Grace of God
continues on}.
7
Hear me speedily,
O
Jehovah/God:
my
spirit faileth:
hide
not your face from me,
lest
I be like unto 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 unto thee.
9
Deliver me, O Jehovah/God,
from
mine enemies:
I
flee unto you to hide me.
10
Teach me to do your will;
for
you are my God:
your
spirit is good;
lead
me into the land of uprightness.
11
Quicken me, O Jehovah/God,
for
your name's sake:
for
your righteousness' sake
bring
my soul out of trouble.
12
And of your mercy cut off my enemies,
and
destroy all them that afflict my soul:
for
I am your servant.
