# Psalm 143 [[Ps-142|← Psalm 142]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-144|Psalm 144 →]] *** ###### v1 Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. ###### v2 Don't enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous. ###### v3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead. ###### v4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate. ###### v5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands. ###### v6 I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. ###### v7 Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, so that I don't become like those who go down into the pit. ###### v8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you. ###### v9 Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me. ###### v10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness. ###### v11 Revive me, Yahweh, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble. ###### v12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant. *** [[Ps-142|← Psalm 142]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-144|Psalm 144 →]]
