143 psalm — Библия — New Living Translation

A psalm of David.

¹ Hear my prayer, O LORD;
listen to my plea!
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.

² Don’t put your servant on trial,
for no one is innocent before you.

³ My enemy has chased me.
He has knocked me to the ground
and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.

⁴ I am losing all hope;
I am paralyzed with fear.

⁵ I remember the days of old.
I ponder all your great works
and think about what you have done.

⁶ I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.
Interlude

⁷ Come quickly, LORD, and answer me,
for my depression deepens.
Don’t turn away from me,
or I will die.

⁸ Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you.

⁹ Rescue me from my enemies, LORD;
I run to you to hide me.

¹⁰ Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing.

¹¹ For the glory of your name, O LORD, preserve my life.
Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.

¹² In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies
and destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.
