19_PSA_143_01 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
19_PSA_143_02 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
19_PSA_143_03 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.
19_PSA_143_04 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
19_PSA_143_05 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
19_PSA_143_06 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
19_PSA_143_07 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.
19_PSA_143_08 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.
19_PSA_143_09 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
19_PSA_143_10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
19_PSA_143_11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
19_PSA_143_12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
