PSA-143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to 
my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy 
righteousness.



PSA-143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in 
thy sight shall no man living be justified.



PSA-143:3 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.



PSA-143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart 
within me is desolate.



PSA-143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy 
works; I muse on the work of thy hands.



PSA-143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul 
[thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.



PSA-143:7 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.



PSA-143:8 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.



PSA-143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto 
thee to hide me.



PSA-143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy 
spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.



PSA-143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy 
righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.



PSA-143:12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy 
all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
