Encouragement from Psalms 5-23-24

Psalm 143

Prayer for Deliverance and Guidance.

A Psalm of David.

143 Hear my prayer, O Lord,

Give ear to my supplications!

Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!

2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,

For in Your sight no man living is righteous.

3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;

He has crushed my life to the ground;

He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

4 Therefore my spirit [a]is overwhelmed within me;

My heart is [b]appalled within me.

5 I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all Your doings;

I muse on the work of Your hands.

6 I stretch out my hands to You;

My soul longs for You, as a [c]parched land. [d]Selah.

7 Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails;

Do not hide Your face from me,

Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.

8 Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;

For I trust in You;

Teach me the way in which I should walk;

For to You I lift up my soul.

9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;

[e]I take refuge in You.

10 Teach me to do Your will,

For You are my God;

Let Your good Spirit lead me on level [f]ground.

11 For the sake of Your name, O Lord, revive me.

In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

12 And in Your lovingkindness, [g]cut off my enemies

And destroy all those who afflict my soul,

For I am Your servant.
