KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 143
David prays for pardon, and deliverance from his enemies.
1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Jehovah give ear to my supplications; answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness;
2and do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for not anyone living is just in Your sight.
3For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness like those who died of old.
4And my spirit within me has fainted; my heart within me is stunned.
5I remember the days of old. I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.
6I spread out my hands to You; my soul is to You like a weary land. Selah.
7O Jehovah, answer me quickly; my spirit is spent; do not hide Your face from me lest I be compared with the ones who go down to the Pit.
8Cause me to hear Your mercy in the morning, for I do trust in You; cause me to know the way I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.
9O Jehovah, deliver me from my enemies; by You I am covered.
10Teach me to do Your will; for You are my God; Your Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11O Jehovah, because of Your name, make me live; in Your righteousness, bring my soul out of distress.
12And in Your mercy cut off my enemies and make perish all those who distress my soul; for I am Your servant.
