Psalms 143:5-12

⁵I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.

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

⁷Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

⁸Cause 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 unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.

⁹Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.

¹⁰Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.

¹¹For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

¹²And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
