A Psalm of David.

143 Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.

² And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.

³ For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

⁴ And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

⁵ I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.

⁶ I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. Selah.

⁷ Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.

⁸ Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.

⁹ Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.

¹⁰ Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.

¹¹ Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;

¹² And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.

¹⁷ And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

¹⁸ And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come to me to call mine iniquity to remembrance, and to slay my son?

¹⁹ And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

²⁰ And he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

²¹ And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again!

²² And Jehovah heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived.

²³ And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives.

²⁴ And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.

⁷ And the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, about to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged the discourse till midnight.

⁸ And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled.

⁹ And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead.

¹⁰ But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

¹¹ And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.

¹² And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted.
