Psalm 143 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
A psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
2
Don't bring your servant to trial! Compared to you, no one is perfect.
3
My enemy has chased me. He has knocked me to the ground. He forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.
4
I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear.
5
I remember the days of old. I ponder all your great works. I think about what you have done.
6
I reach out for you. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Interlude
7
Come quickly, LORD, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don't turn away from me, or I will die.
8
Let me hear of your unfailing love to me in the morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I have come to you in prayer.
9
Save me from my enemies, LORD; I run to you to hide me.
10
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.
11
For the glory of your name, O LORD, save me. In your righteousness, bring me out of this distress.
12
In your unfailing love, cut off all my enemies and destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
