Psalms 143

NKJV

NIV

1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Lord, Give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, And in Your righteousness.
1 LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
2 Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no one living is righteous.
2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in darkness, Like those who have long been dead.
3 The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is distressed.
4 So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.
5 I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
6 I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah
6 I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.
7 Answer me speedily, O Lord; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
7 Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.
8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you.
10 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11 Revive me, O Lord, for Your name's sake! For Your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
11 For your name’s sake, LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
12 In Your mercy cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Your servant.
12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
