“1 <<A Psalm of David.>> Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my
supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy
righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in
thy sight shall no man living be justified. 3 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
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is
desolate. 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I
muse on the work of thy hands. 6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my
soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.”
“7 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. 8 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, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. 10
Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit [is] good;
lead me into the land of uprightness. 11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy
name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that
afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.” (Psalm 143:1-12 AV)
