New International Version

Psalm 143:6-12 New International Version (NIV)

6. I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.

7. Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

8. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

9. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you.

10. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

11. For your name’s sake, Lord, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

12. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
