# Psalms 143

[1](#verse-1) Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

[2](#verse-2) Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

[3](#verse-3) 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.

[4](#verse-4) Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.

[5](#verse-5) I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.

[6](#verse-6) I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

[7](#verse-7) Hurry to answer me, LORD. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

[8](#verse-8) 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.

[9](#verse-9) Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.

[10](#verse-10) Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

[11](#verse-11) Revive me, LORD, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

[12](#verse-12) In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am your servant.
