Read in context

Psalms 143:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah

7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.

8 Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.

9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.

10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
