Psalms 143:1-6

1 A psalm of David: ADONAI, hear my prayer; listen to my pleas for mercy. 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 Don't bring your servant to trial, since in your sight no one alive would be considered righteous.

2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.

3 For an enemy is pursuing me; he has crushed my life into the ground and left me to live in darkness, like those who have been long dead.

3 The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.

4 My spirit faints within me; my heart is appalled within me.

4 So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.

5 I remember the days of old, reflecting on all your deeds, thinking about 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, I long for you like a thirsty land. (Selah)

6 I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.
