Psalm 143:5-11
New International Version
Psalm 143:5-11
New International Version
5 I remember(A) the days of long ago;
I meditate(B) on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.
6 I spread out my hands(C) to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land.[a]
7 Answer me quickly,(D) Lord;
my spirit fails.(E)
Do not hide your face(F) from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,(G)
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way(H) I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.(I)
9 Rescue me(J) from my enemies,(K) Lord,
for I hide myself in you.
10 Teach me(L) to do your will,
for you are my God;(M)
may your good Spirit
lead(N) me on level ground.(O)

Psalm 143:5-11
King James Version
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 thirsteth 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.
