Psalm 143:1-12
Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. 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. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. 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. 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. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
Our father who art in heaven - I remember the days of old
Hallowed be thy Name (the way) - I meditate on all thy works; I muse(1) on the work of thy hands.
Thy Kingdom Come - . I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land.
Thy Will Be Done- Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good;
On Earth as it is in Heaven - lead me into the land of uprightness
Give us This Day Our Daily Bread - Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust
And Forgive us Our Trespasses - And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
As we forgive those who trespass against us - cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Lead us not into temptation - lead me into the land of uprightness. 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. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
But deliver us from evil - Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
