Psalm 143 (New American Standard)
Prayer for Deliverance and Guidance.
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, 1Give ear to my supplications ! Answer me in Your 2faithfulness, in Your 3righteousness ! 2 And 4do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight 5no man living is righteous. 3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul ; He has crushed my life 6to the ground ; He 7has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead. 4 Therefore 8my spirit ais overwhelmed within me; My heart is b9appalled within me. 5 I 10remember the days of old ; I 11meditate on all Your doings ; I 12muse on the work of Your hands. 6 I 13stretch out my hands to You; My 14soul longs for You, as a cparched land. dSelah. 7 15Answer me quickly, O LORD, my 16spirit fails ; 17Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like 18those who go down to the pit. 8 Let me hear Your 19lovingkindness 20in the morning ; For I trust 21in You; Teach me the 22way in which I should walk ; For to You I 23lift up my soul. 9 24Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies ; eI take refuge in You. 10 25Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God ; Let 26Your good Spirit 27lead me on level fground. 11 28For the sake of Your name, O LORD, 29revive me. 30In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. 12 And in Your lovingkindness, g31cut off my enemies And 32destroy all those who afflict my soul, For 33I am Your servant.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
