Psalm 143:7-12

Good News Translation

⁷ Answer me now, Lord!
    I have lost all hope.
Don't hide yourself from me,
    or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.
⁸ Remind me each morning of your constant love,
    for I put my trust in you.
My prayers go up to you;
    show me the way I should go.

⁹ I go to you for protection, Lord;
    rescue me from my enemies.
¹⁰ You are my God;
    teach me to do your will.
Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.

¹¹ Rescue me, Lord, as you have promised;
    in your goodness save me from my troubles!
¹² Because of your love for me, kill my enemies
    and destroy all my oppressors,
    for I am your servant.
