Psalms 143

1 LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.

1 Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for your favor. You are faithful and right. Come and help me.

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

2 Don't take me to court and judge me, because in your eyes no living person does what is right.

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

3 My enemies chase me. They crush me down to the ground. They make me live in darkness like those who died long ago.

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

4 So I grow weak. Deep down inside me, I'm afraid.

5 I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.

5 I remember what happened long ago. I spend time thinking about all of your acts. I consider what your hands have done.

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

6 I spread out my hands to you in prayer. I'm thirsty for you, just as dry ground is thirsty for rain. "Selah"

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.

7 Lord, answer me quickly. I'm growing weak. Don't turn your face away from me, or I will be like those who go down into the grave.

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.

8 In the morning let me hear about your faithful love, because I've put my trust in you. Show me the way I should live, because I pray to you.

9 Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you.

9 Lord, save me from my enemies, because I go to you for safety.

10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

10 Teach me to do what you want, because you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me on a level path.

11 For your name’s sake, LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

11 Lord, be true to your name. Keep me alive. Because you do what is right, get me out of trouble.

12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.

12 Because your love is faithful, put an end to my enemies. Destroy all of them, because I serve you.
