Psalms 143

KJVA

NIV

1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
1 LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified .
2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
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 .
3 The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate .
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 thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
5 I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
6 I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.
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.
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 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.
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 mine enemies : I flee unto thee to hide me.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into 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 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy 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 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies , and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
