Psalms 141-145
Psalms 141
Psa 141:1 A Psalm of David. Lord, I cry unto Thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee.
Psa 141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Psa 141:3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Psa 141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Psa 141:5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
Psa 141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Psa 141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
Psa 141:8 But mine eyes are unto Thee, O God the Lord: in Thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
Psa 141:9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Psa 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
Psalms 142
Psa 142:1 Mas´-chil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
Psa 142:2 I poured out my complaint before Him; I shewed before Him my trouble.
Psa 142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
Psa 142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
Psa 142:5 I cried unto Thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
Psa 142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
Psa 142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for Thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
Psalms 143
Psa 143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
Psa 143:2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant: for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Psa 143:3 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.
Psa 143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Psa 143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy works; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
Psa 143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto Thee: my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
Psa 143:7 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.
Psa 143:8 Cause me to hear Thy loving-kindness 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.
Psa 143:9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto Thee to hide me.
Psa 143:10 Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Psa 143:11 Quicken me, O Lord, for Thy name’s sake: for Thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Psa 143:12 And of Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am Thy servant.

Psa 144:10 It is He that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David His servant from the hurtful sword.
Psa 144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
Psa 144:12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
Psa 144:13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
Psa 144:14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
Psa 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
