Psalm 143:7-9

Revised Standard Version

⁷ Make haste to answer me, O Lord!
    My spirit fails!
Hide not thy face from me,
    lest I be like those who go down to the Pit.
⁸ Let me hear in the morning of thy steadfast love,
    for in thee I put my trust.
Teach me the way I should go,
    for to thee I lift up my soul.

⁹ Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies!
    I have fled to thee for refuge!^[a]
