Psalm 143:1-Psalm 144:1 - A Cry For Help
1 A Davidic psalm.
In Your faithfulness listen to my plea,
and in Your righteousness answer me.
for no one alive is righteous in Your sight.
3
crushing me to the ground,
making me live in darkness
like those long dead.
my heart is overcome with dismay.
5
I meditate on all You have done;
I reflect on the work of Your hands.
I am like parched land before You.
7
my spirit fails.
Don’t hide Your face from me,
or I will be like those
going down to the Pit.
Your faithful love in the morning,
for I trust in You.
Reveal to me the way I should go
because I long for You.
I come to You for protection.
for You are my God.
May Your gracious Spirit
lead me on level ground.
11
let me live.
In Your righteousness deliver me from trouble,
Wipe out all those who attack me,
for I am Your servant.
1 Davidic.
who trains my hands for battle
and my fingers for warfare.
