New International Reader's Version

Psalm 143:6-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. I spread out my hands to you in prayer. I'm thirsty for you, just as dry ground is thirsty for rain. Selah

7. Lord, answer me quickly. I'm growing weak. Don't turn your face away from me, or I will be like those who go down into the grave.

8. In the morning let me hear about your faithful love, because I've put my trust in you. Show me the way I should live, because I pray to you.

9. Lord, save me from my enemies, because I go to you for safety.

10. Teach me to do what you want, because you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me on a level path.

11. Lord, be true to your name. Keep me alive. Because you do what is right, get me out of trouble.
