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.
A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, Answer me in Your faithfulness—in Your righteousness.
2 And may not you go in judgment with servant your for not he is righteous before you any living [person].
And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no one living is justified before You.
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 an enemy has pursued my soul, He has bruised my life to the earth, He has caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
4 And it has fainted away on me spirit my in [the] midst of me it is appalled heart my.
And my spirit has become feeble in me, My heart has become desolate within me.
5 I have remembered days - from antiquity I have meditated on every deed your on [the] work of hands your I meditate.
I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Your acts, I muse on the work of Your hand.
6 I have spread out hands my to you throat my - like a land exhausted [is] to you (Selah)
I have spread forth my hands to You, My soul [is] as a weary land for You. (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.
Hurry, answer me, O YHWH, My spirit has been consumed, Do not hide Your face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] 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 Your kindness in the morning, For I have trusted in You, Cause me to know the way that I go, For I have lifted up my soul to You.
9 Deliver me from enemies my - O Yahweh to you I have covered.
Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH, Near You I am covered.
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 Your good pleasure, For You [are] my God—Your Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a 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.
You quicken me for Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, In Your righteousness, You bring out my soul from distress,
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 in Your kindness cut off my enemies, And have destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Your servant!
