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.
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.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies; I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake; for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
Psalms 144 Intro: A prayer for sundry blessings.(A Psalm of David.)
1 Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight;
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4 Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
