Read Psalms 143 (KJV)
1Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.6I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.7Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.8Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.9Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.11Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.12And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
