Psalm 143 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Prayer for Deliverance and Guidance.

Psa 143:1A Psalm of David.
Hear my prayer, O LORD,
Give ear to my supplications!
Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!

Psa 143:2

Psa 143:2And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no man living is righteous.

Psa 143:3

Psa 143:3For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

Psa 143:4

Psa 143:4Therefore my spirit [fn]is overwhelmed within me;
My heart is [fn]appalled within me.

Psa 143:5

Psa 143:5I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your doings;
I muse on the work of Your hands.

Psa 143:6

Psa 143:6I stretch out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You, as a [fn]parched land. [fn]Selah.

Psa 143:7

Psa 143:7Answer me quickly, O LORD, my spirit fails;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Psa 143:8

Psa 143:8Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Teach me the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.

Psa 143:9

Psa 143:9Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies;
[fn]I take refuge in You.

Psa 143:10

Psa 143:10Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level [fn]ground.

Psa 143:11

Psa 143:11For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me.
In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

Psa 143:12

Psa 143:12And in Your lovingkindness, [fn]cut off my enemies
And destroy all those who afflict my soul,
For I am Your servant.
