Psalms:143
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hear my prayer ,
O LORD ,
give ear to my supplications :
in your faithfulness answer me ,
and in your righteousness .
*
And enter not into judgment with your servant :
for in your sight shall no man living be justified .
*
For the enemy has persecuted my soul ;
he has smitten my life down to the ground ;
he has made me to dwell in darkness ,
as those that have been long dead .
*
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me ;
my heart within me is desolate .
*
I remember the days of old ;
I meditate on all your works ;
I muse on the work of your hands .
*
I stretch forth my hands to you :
my soul thirsts after you ,
as a thirsty land .
Selah .
*
Hear me speedily ,
O LORD :
my spirit fails :
hide not your face from me ,
lest I be like to them that go down into the pit .
*
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning ;
for in you do I trust :
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk ;
for I lift up my soul to you .
*
Deliver me ,
O LORD ,
from my enemies :
I flee to you to hide me .
*
Teach me to do your will ;
for you are my God :
your spirit is good ;
lead me into the land of uprightness .
*
Quicken me ,
O LORD ,
for your name '
sake :
for your righteousness '
sake bring my soul out of trouble .
*
And of your mercy cut off my enemies ,
and destroy all them that afflict my soul :
for I am your servant .
