Psalms 143:4-12 English Revised Version (ERV)

4. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

5. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings: I muse on the work of thy hands.

6. I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Selah

7. Make haste to answer me, O LORD; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

8. Cause 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.

9. Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

10. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me in the land of uprightness.

11. Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

12. And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
