Psalm 143
1. HEAR my
prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer
me, and in thy righteousness.
2. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall
no man living be justified.
3. 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.
4. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is
desolate.
5. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on
the work of thy hands.
6. I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thristeth after thee, as
a thirsty land. Selah.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good;
lead me into the land of uprightness.
11. Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake
bring my soul out of trouble.
12. And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that
afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
Psalm 144
1. BLESSED be
the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to
fight:
2. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer, my
shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3. LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of
man, that thou makest account of him!
4. Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passesth away.
5. Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they
shall smoke.
6. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and
destroy them.
7. Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great
waters, from the hand of strange children;
8. Whose mouth speaketh vanity. and their right hand is a right hand of
falsehood.
9. I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an
instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10. It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his
servant from the hurtful sword.
11. Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose
mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of
falsehood.
12. That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our
daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a
palace:
13. That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that
our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14. That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in,
nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15. Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that
people, whose God is the LORD.

unsearchable.
4. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare
thy mighty acts.

wondrous works.

throughout all generations.

bowed down.

due season.

thing.

upon him in truth.

their cry, and will save them.

he destroy.

his holy name for ever and ever.
