Psalms Chapter 143
Ayo, check it, Lord! Peep my prayer and the vibes I'm sending: respond to me with your loyalty and keep it real.
[A Psalm of David.] Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, {and} in thy righteousness.
Don’t come at me with judgment, fam: nobody can flex in front of you.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
My rivals are gunning for my spirit, dragging me down; it’s mad dark out here like I’m chilling with the phantoms.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
My soul's feeling crushed, and my heart's just empty vibes.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
I reminisce about the good times; I reflect on all your acts, and it just hits different.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
I’m reaching out to you, Lord; my soul's parched for you like a barren desert. Selah.
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul {thirsteth} after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
Hit me up fast, Lord: my spirit's about to crash; don’t leave me on read, or I’ll end up in the pit.
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. {lest...: or, for I am become like, etc}
Let me vibe with your love in the morning; I trust you, so guide me on how to roll; I’m lifting my soul to you.
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.
Rescue me, Lord, from my haters: I’m seeking shelter in you.
Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. {flee...: Heb. hide me with thee}
Show me your ways, God; your spirit's fire; lead me to the land of the real ones.
Teach me to do thy will; for thou {art} my God: thy spirit {is} good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Revive me, Lord, for the sake of your name's rep: for your goodness, pull my soul out of the chaos.
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
And by your mercy, take out my haters and erase all those who mess with me: I’m your servant, no cap.
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I {am} thy servant.
