Psalms 143:2-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

2. Enter not into judgment with Your servant,for in Your sight no one living is righteous.

3. For the enemy has persecuted my soul;he has crushed my life down to the ground;he has made me to dwell in darkness,as those who have been long dead.

4. Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;my heart within me is desolate.

5. I remember the days of old;I meditate on all Your works;I consider the work of Your hands.

6. I stretch forth my hands unto You;my soul thirsts after You as a thirsty land. Selah

7. Respond to me quickly, O Lord,my spirit fails;do not hide Your face from me,lest I be like those who go down into the pit.

8. Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;for in You I have my trust;cause me to know the way I should walk,for I lift up my soul unto You.

9. Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;I flee unto You for my protection.

10. Teach me to do Your will,for You are my God;may Your good spiritlead me onto level ground.

11. Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake,for Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
