Psalms 143
1 A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
A psalm of David O Yahweh - hear prayer my give ear! to supplications my in faithfulness your answer me in righteousness your.
2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
And may not you go in judgment with servant your for not he is righteous before you any living [person].
3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
For he has pursued an enemy - self my he has crushed to the ground life my he has caused to dwell me in dark places like dead [people] of antiquity.
4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
And it has fainted away on me spirit my in [the] midst of me it is appalled heart my.
5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
I have remembered days - from antiquity I have meditated on every deed your on [the] work of hands your I meditate.
6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
I have spread out hands my to you throat my - like a land exhausted [is] to you (Selah)
7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
Hurry answer me - O Yahweh it is exhausted spirit my may not you hide face your from me and I will be equal with [those who] go down of [the] pit.
8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
Make hear me in the morning - covenant loyalty your for in you I have trusted make known to me [the] way which I will go for to you I lift up desire my.
9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
Deliver me from enemies my - O Yahweh to you I have covered.
10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
Teach me - to do will your for you [are] God my spirit your good may it lead me in a land of level ground.
11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
For [the] sake of name your O Yahweh you will preserve alive me in righteousness your - you will bring out from trouble life my.
12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
And in covenant loyalty your you will destroy enemies my and you will destroy all [the] opposers of life my for I [am] servant your.
