Psalm 143:10
Free Bible Version
Chapter overview
Psalm 143 asks mercy rather than judgment while enemies drive the speaker into darkness. Remembered works awaken trust, morning love brings guidance, and a revived spirit learns the level path of faithful obedience.

1Lord, please hear my prayer. Because you are faithful, please listen to my appeal for mercy. Answer me because you do what is right!
2Please don't place me, your servant, on trial, because nobody is innocent in your sight.
3The enemy has chased me down. He crushes me to the ground. He makes me live in darkness like those who died a long time ago.
4I sense myself fading away inside; I am overwhelmed by a sense of desolation.
5I think of days long ago, and as I meditate I talk to myself about all you have done, I reflect on what you have accomplished.
6I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. Selah.
7Please answer me quickly, Lord! I'm dying! Don't turn away otherwise I'll be just like those who are going down into the grave.
8Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.
9Save me from those who hate me, Lord—I run to you for protection.
10Teach me your will for you are my God. May your spirit of goodness lead me and make my way smooth.
11Because of the kind of person you are, let me go on living. Because you always do what's right, get me out of the trouble I'm in.
12In your trustworthy love, get rid of those who hate me, destroy all my enemies, for I am your servant.
