Prayer for Help and Guidance.

A Psalm of David.

143 
Hear my prayer, Lord,

Listen to my pleadings!

Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!

2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,

For no person living is righteous in Your sight.

3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;

He has crushed my life to the ground;

He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

4 Therefore my spirit [a]feels weak within me;

My heart is [b]appalled within me.

5 I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all Your accomplishments;

I reflect on the work of Your hands.

6 I spread out my hands to You;

My soul longs for You, like a weary land. Selah

7 Answer me quickly, Lord, my spirit fails;

Do not hide Your face from me,

Or I will be the same as those who go down to the pit.

8 Let me hear Your faithfulness in the morning,

For I trust in You;

Teach me the way in which I should walk;

For to You I lift up my soul.

9 Save me, Lord, from my enemies;

[c]I take refuge in You.

10 Teach me to do Your will,

For You are my God;

Let Your good Spirit lead me on level [d]ground.

11 For the sake of Your name, Lord, revive me.

In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

12 And in Your faithfulness, [e]destroy my enemies,

And eliminate all those who attack my soul,

For I am Your servant.
