A Psalm [by] David. |
Psalm 143:1-12 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O Lord, hear my prayer. [Lend Your] ear [& listen] to my [prayers.] Answer me in Your faithfulness & in Your righteousness. And [don't] enter into judgment with Your servant; for no living man shall be justified in Your sight. |
For the enemy has persecuted my soul. He has [struck] my life down to the ground. He has made me dwell in darkness, [like] those [who] have long been dead. Therefore, my spirit is overwhelmed within me. Within me, my heart is [lonely.] |
I remember the days of old. I [think about] all Your works & I [ponder] the work of Your hands. [Exodus 14:21-22 And Moses stretched out his hand over the [Red] Sea. |
And the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night & made the sea dry land & the waters were divided. And the children [people] of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground & the waters were a wall to them on their right hand & on their left.] |
I stretch [out] My hands to You. My soul thirsts after You, [like] a thirsty land. Selah. [Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root & the Offspring of David & the Bright & Morning Star. |
And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And let him [who hears] say, Come. And let him [who] is [thirsty,] come. And [whoever is willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.] |
O Lord, hear me speedily. My spirit fails. [Don't] hide Your face from me, lest I [am] like [those who] go down into the pit. [Psalm 30:3 O Lord, You have brought My soul up from the grave. You have kept me alive, [so] that I shouldn't go down to the pit.] |
[Make it possible for] me to hear Your loving kindness in the morning: for I do trust in You. Cause me to know the [path in which] I should walk; for I lift up my soul to You. O Lord, deliver me from [my] enemies. I flee to 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 [the upright.] [Revive] me, O Lord, for Your Name's sake. Bring my soul out of trouble: for Your righteousness' sake. [In] Your mercy, cut off [my] enemies & destroy all [those who] afflict my soul: For I am Your servant. |
[Psalm 54:5 He shall reward evil to [my] enemies & cut them off [by] Your Truth.] |
