YOUNG\'S LITERAL TRANSLATION
143:1 A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me -- in Thy righteousness.
143:2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.
143:3 For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
143:4 And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.
143:5 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.
143:6 I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul `is' as a weary land for Thee. Selah.
143:7 Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down `to' the pit.
143:8 Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.
143:9 Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.
143:10 Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou `art' my God -- Thy Spirit `is' good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
143:11 For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,
143:12 And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I `am' Thy servant!
