Psalm 143

143
A Prayer for Help#HEBREW TITLE: A psalm by David.
1 Lord, hear my prayer!
In your righteousness listen to my plea;
answer me in your faithfulness!
2 # Ro 3.20; Ga 2.16 Don't put me, your servant, on trial;
no one is innocent in your sight.
3My enemies have hunted me down
and completely defeated me.
They have put me in a dark prison,
and I am like those who died long ago.
4So I am ready to give up;
I am in deep despair.
5I remember the days gone by;
I think about all that you have done,
I bring to mind all your deeds.
6I lift up my hands to you in prayer;
like dry ground my soul is thirsty for you.
7Answer me now, Lord!
I have lost all hope.
Don't hide yourself from me,
or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.
8Remind me each morning of your constant love,
for I put my trust in you.
My prayers go up to you;
show me the way I should go.
9I go to you for protection, Lord;
rescue me from my enemies.
10You are my God;
teach me to do your will.
Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.
11Rescue me, Lord, as you have promised;
in your goodness save me from my troubles!
12Because of your love for me, kill my enemies
and destroy all my oppressors,
for I am your servant.
