Psalms 143 (kjv)

143

A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, give earH238 to my supplicationsH8469: in thy faithfulnessH530 answerH6030 me, and in thy righteousnessH6666.2And enterH935 not into judgmentH4941 with thy servantH5650: for in thy sightH6440 shall no man livingH2416 be justifiedH6663.

3For the enemyH341 hath persecutedH7291 my soulH5315; he hath smittenH1792 my lifeH2416 downH1792 to the groundH776; he hath made me to dwellH3427 in darknessH4285, as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.4Therefore is my spiritH7307 overwhelmedH5848 within me; my heartH3820 withinH8432 me is desolateH8074.

5I rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH6924; I meditateH1897 on all thy worksH6467; I museH7878 on the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.6I stretch forthH6566 my handsH3027 unto thee: my soulH5315 thirsteth after thee, as a thirstyH5889 landH776. SelahH5542.

7HearH6030 me speedilyH4118, O LORDH3068: my spiritH7307 failethH3615: hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me, lest I be likeH4911 unto them that go downH3381 into the pitH953.8Cause me to hearH8085 thy lovingkindnessH2617 in the morningH1242; for in thee do I trustH982: cause me to knowH3045 the wayH1870 whereinH2098 I should walkH3212; for I lift upH5375 my soulH5315 unto thee.

9DeliverH5337 me, O LORDH3068, from mine enemiesH341: I flee unto thee to hideH3680 me.

10TeachH3925 me to doH6213 thy willH7522; for thou art my GodH430: thy spiritH7307 is goodH2896; leadH5148 me into the landH776 of uprightnessH4334.11QuickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, for thy name'sH8034 sake: for thy righteousnessH6666' sake bringH3318 my soulH5315 out of troubleH6869.

12And of thy mercyH2617 cut offH6789 mine enemiesH341, and destroyH6 all them that afflictH6887 my soulH5315: for I am thy servantH5650.
