Psalm 143

Hear my prayer, O LORD,
give ear to my supplications:
in your faithfulness answer me,
and in your righteousness.
Do not bring your servant into judgement:
for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
he has smitten my life into the ground;
he has made me to dwell in the darkness,
as those that have been long dead.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
my heart within me is desolate.
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all thy works;
I muse on the works of your hands.
I stretch forth my hands unto you:
my soul thirsts for you, like a thirsty land.
Selah
Hear me speedily, O LORD:
my spirit fails:
hide not your face from me,
lest I be like them that go down into the pit.
Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning;
for in you do I trust:
cause me to know the ways wherein I should walk;
for I lift my soul to you.
Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies:
I flee unto you to hide me.
Teach me to do your will;
for you are my God:
your spirit is good;
lead me into the land of uprightness.
Quicken me, O LORD,
for your name's sake;
for your righteousness' sake
bring my soul out of trouble.
And of your mercy cut off my enemies,
and destroy all them  that afflict my soul;
for I am your servant.
