Psalms 143
1 A psalm of David O Yahweh - hear prayer my give ear! to supplications my in faithfulness your answer me in righteousness your.
Hear my prayer, O Yhwh, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 And may not you go in judgment with servant your for not he is righteous before you any living [person].
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 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.
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.
4 And it has fainted away on me spirit my in [the] midst of me it is appalled heart my.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I have remembered days - from antiquity I have meditated on every deed your on [the] work of hands your I meditate.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I have spread out hands my to you throat my - like a land exhausted [is] to you (Selah)
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
7 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.
Hear me speedily, O Yhwh: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 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.
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.
9 Deliver me from enemies my - O Yahweh to you I have covered.
Deliver me, O Yhwh, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me - to do will your for you [are] God my spirit your good may it lead me in a land of level ground.
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 For [the] sake of name your O Yahweh you will preserve alive me in righteousness your - you will bring out from trouble life my.
Quicken me, O Yhwh, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 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.
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
