Psalms 143
David prayeth for favour in judgment.
Psalms 143:1 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} {A Psalm of David.} Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness. Psalms 143:2 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
He complaineth of his griefs.
Psalms 143:3 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Psalms 143:4 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
He strengtheneth his faith by meditation and prayer.
Psalms 143:5 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. Psalms 143:6 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
He prayeth for grace,
Psalms 143:7 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Psalms 143:8 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} 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.
for deliverance,
Psalms 143:9 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
for sanctification,
Psalms 143:10 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Psalms 143:11 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
for destruction of his enemies.
Psalms 143:12 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
