Psalms:143
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hear my prayer ,
O LORD ,
Give ear to my supplications !
In Your faithfulness answer me ,
And in Your righteousness .
*
Do not enter into judgment with Your servant ,
For in Your sight no one living is righteous .
*
For the enemy has persecuted my soul ;
He has crushed my life to the ground ;
He has made me dwell in darkness ,
Like those who have long been dead .
*
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me ;
My heart within me is distressed .
*
I remember the days of old ;
I meditate on all Your works ;
I muse on the work of Your hands .
*
I spread out my hands to You ;
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land .
Selah
*
Answer me speedily ,
O LORD ;
My spirit fails !
Do not hide Your face from me ,
Lest I be like those who go down into the pit .
*
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning ,
For in You do I trust ;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk ,
For I lift up my soul to You .
*
Deliver me ,
O LORD ,
from my enemies ;
In You I take shelter .
*
Teach me to do Your will ,
For You are my God ;
Your Spirit is good .
Lead me in the land of uprightness .
*
Revive me ,
O LORD ,
for Your name '
s sake !
For Your righteousness '
sake bring my soul out of trouble .
*
In Your mercy cut off my enemies ,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul ;
For I am Your servant .
