Psalm 143 | English Standard Version

My Soul Thirsts for You

1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! 2 Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you. 3 For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead. 4 Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled. 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands. 6 I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. 7 Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. 8 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. 9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord! I have fled to you for refuge.* 10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground! 11 For your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life! In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble! 12 And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies, and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul, for I am your servant.

1 Escucha, Señor, mi oración; atiende a mi súplica. Por tu fidelidad y tu justicia, respóndeme. 2 No lleves a juicio a tu siervo, pues ante ti nadie puede alegar inocencia. 3 El enemigo atenta contra mi vida: quiere hacerme morder el polvo. Me obliga a vivir en las tinieblas, como los que murieron hace tiempo. 4 Ya no me queda aliento; dentro de mí siento paralizado el corazón. 5 Traigo a la memoria los tiempos de antaño: medito en todas tus proezas, considero las obras de tus manos. 6 Hacia ti extiendo las manos; me haces falta, como el agua a la tierra seca. Selah 7 Respóndeme pronto, Señor, que el aliento se me escapa. No escondas de mí tu rostro, o seré como los que bajan a la fosa. 8 Por la mañana hazme saber de tu gran amor, porque en ti he puesto mi confianza. Señálame el camino que debo seguir, porque a ti elevo mi alma. 9 Señor, líbrame de mis enemigos, porque en ti busco refugio. 10 Enséñame a hacer tu voluntad, porque tú eres mi Dios. Que tu buen Espíritu me guíe por un terreno sin obstáculos. 11 Por tu nombre, Señor, dame vida; por tu justicia, sácame de este aprieto. 12 Por tu gran amor, destruye a mis enemigos; acaba con todos mis adversarios. ¡Yo soy tu siervo!
