Psalms 142
1
I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2
I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
3
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.
4
Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
5
I cry to you, LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
7
Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.

Psalms 143
1
LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
2
Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
3
The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.
4
So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
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 thirst for you like a parched land.
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
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
Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you.
10
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11
For your name’s sake, LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
12
In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
