Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
A Psalme of David. Heare my prayer, O Lord, and hearken vnto my supplication: answer me in thy trueth and in thy righteousnes.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
(And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall none that liueth, be iustified)
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
For the enemie hath persecuted my soule: he hath smitten my life downe to the earth: he hath layde me in the darkenes, as they that haue bene dead long agoe:
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
And my spirit was in perplexitie in me, and mine heart within me was amased.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Yet do I remember the time past: I meditate in all thy workes, yea, I doe meditate in the workes of thine hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
I stretche forth mine hands vnto thee: my soule desireth after thee, as the thirstie land. (Selah)
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Heare me spedely, O Lord, for my spirit faeleth: hide not thy face from me, els I shall be like vnto them that go downe into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Let me heare thy louing kindenes in the morning, for in thee is my trust: shewe mee the waie, that I should walke in, for I lift vp my soule vnto thee.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
Deliuer me, O Lord, from mine enemies: for I hid me with thee.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit leade me vnto the land of righteousnes.
11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Quicken me, O Lord, for thy Names sake, and for thy righteousnes bring my soule out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
And for thy mercy slay mine enemies, and destrie all them that oppresse my soule: for I am thy seruant.
