Oración por liberación y dirección

143 Salmo de David.

Oh SEÑOR, escucha mi oración;
atiende mis ruegos.
Respóndeme por tu fidelidad, por tu justicia.
No entres en juicio con tu siervo porque no se justificará delante de ti ningún viviente.
Porque el enemigo ha perseguido
mi alma;
ha postrado en tierra mi vida, me ha hecho habitar en lugares tenebrosos como los muertos de antaño.
Mi espíritu desmaya dentro de mí;
mi corazón queda asombrado.
Me acuerdo de los días de antaño, medito en todos tus hechos
y reflexiono en las obras de tus manos.
Extiendo mis manos hacia ti;
mi alma te anhela como la tierra sedienta. Selah[a]
Respóndeme pronto, oh SEÑOR, porque mi espíritu desfallece. No escondas de mí tu rostro
para que no sea yo como los que descienden a la fosa.
Hazme oír por la mañana tu misericordia porque en ti confío.
Hazme conocer el camino en que
he de andar
porque hacia ti levanto mi alma.
Líbrame de mis enemigos, oh SEÑOR, porque en ti me refugio[b].
10 Enséñame a hacer tu voluntad porque tú eres mi Dios;
tu buen Espíritu me guíe a tierra
de rectitud.
11 Vivifícame, oh SEÑOR, por amor
de tu nombre;
por tu justicia saca mi alma de la angustia.
12 Por tu misericordia silencia
a mis enemigos;
destruye a todos los adversarios
de mi alma
porque yo soy tu siervo.

An Earnest Appeal for Guidance and Deliverance

A Psalm of David.

143 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my supplications!
In Your faithfulness answer me,
And in Your righteousness.
Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
(A)For in Your sight no one living is righteous.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in [a]darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.
(B)Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.

(C)I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I [b]muse on the work of Your hands.
I spread out my hands to You;
(D)My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
(E)Lest I [c]be like those who [d]go down into the pit.
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness (F)in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
(G)Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For (H)I lift up my soul to You.

Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
[e]In You I take shelter.
10 (I)Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
(J)Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in (K)the land of uprightness.

11 (L)Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 In Your mercy (M)cut[f] off my enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
For I am Your servant.

Psalm 143

A psalm of David.

Lord, hear my prayer,(A)
    listen to my cry for mercy;(B)
in your faithfulness(C) and righteousness(D)
    come to my relief.
Do not bring your servant into judgment,
    for no one living is righteous(E) before you.
The enemy pursues me,
    he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in the darkness(F)
    like those long dead.(G)
So my spirit grows faint within me;
    my heart within me is dismayed.(H)
I remember(I) the days of long ago;
    I meditate(J) on all your works
    and consider what your hands have done.
I spread out my hands(K) to you;
    I thirst for you like a parched land.[a]

Answer me quickly,(L) Lord;
    my spirit fails.(M)
Do not hide your face(N) from me
    or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,(O)
    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way(P) I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life.(Q)
Rescue me(R) from my enemies,(S) Lord,
    for I hide myself in you.
10 Teach me(T) to do your will,
    for you are my God;(U)
may your good Spirit
    lead(V) me on level ground.(W)

11 For your name’s sake,(X) Lord, preserve my life;(Y)
    in your righteousness,(Z) bring me out of trouble.
12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;(AA)
    destroy all my foes,(AB)
    for I am your servant.(AC)
