BRAGADAYJAH 1541

BRAGADAYJAH 1541 Psalm 143 A Psalm of David Confident appeal for help Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications; in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy has persecute 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. Therefore, is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. I remember the days of old; I meditate in all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto thee; my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. 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. 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. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies; I flee unto thee to hide me. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of unrighteousness. Quicken me O Lord, for thy name’s sake, for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble; and of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
