Psalms 143:6 in context

Psalms 143:3–9

3

For the enemy pursues my soul.

He has struck my life down to the ground.

He has made me live in dark places, 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 doings.

I contemplate the work of your hands.

6
Selected verse

I spread out my hands to you.

My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

7

Hurry to answer me, LORD.

My spirit fails.

Don’t hide your face from me,

so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

8

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning,

for I trust in you.

Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,

for I lift up my soul to you.

9

Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies.

I flee to you to hide me.
