Psalms 143:1-12
Oh LORD, hear my prayers, in your righteousness Father listen to my plea; answer me in your faithfulness oh God.
Please don't put me, your servant, on trial because nobody is innocent in your sight.
My enemies have hunted me down and completely defeated me because I have no power of my own.
They
have put me in a dark prison where they laugh at me every day, and I am
like those who died long ago without a helper. So I am ready to give up
oh God; I am in deep despair right now.
I
think about all that you have done for me in the past, and I bring to mind
all your great deeds. I lift up my hands to you in worship and prayer;
like dry ground, my soul is thirsty for your help oh God.
Answer me now Lord God in heaven, LORD! I have lost all hope as if nobody will come to help me.
Don't hide mercy from me, or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead through the wicked hands of my enemies.
Remind me each morning of your constant and incomparable love, for I put my trust in you oh God.
My
prayers go up to you every day; show me the way I should go. I go to
you for help and protection, LORD; rescue me from my enemies who are
attacking me.
You are my
God and my father; teach me to do Your will every day of my life. Be
good to me oh God, and guide me on a safe path for the glory of your
name. Rescue me now LORD, as you have promised in the past; in your
goodness save me from many troubles trying to destroy my life! Because
of your love for me, kill all my enemies and destroy all my oppressors
and those that want my downfall, for I am your servant.
