Psalm 143-145

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 143-145

1O LORD, hear my prayer.
In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea;
in Your righteousness, answer me.
2Do not bring Your servant into judgment,
for no one alive is righteous before You.
3For the enemy has pursued my soul,
crushing my life to the ground,
making me dwell in darkness
like those long since dead.
4My spirit grows faint within me;
my heart is dismayed inside me.
5I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I consider the work of Your hands.
6I stretch out my hands to You;
my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
7Answer 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.
8Let 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.
9Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD;
I flee to You for refuge.
10Teach me to do Your will,
for You are my God.
May Your good Spirit lead me
on level ground.
11For the sake of Your name, O LORD,
revive me.
In Your righteousness,
bring my soul out of trouble.
12And in Your loving devotion,
cut off my enemies.
Destroy all who afflict me,
for I am Your servant.
1Blessed be the LORD, my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
2He is my steadfast love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer.
He is my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
3O LORD, what is man, that You regard him,
the son of man that You think of him?
4Man is like a breath;
his days are like a passing shadow.
5Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down;
touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them;
shoot Your arrows and rout them.
7Reach down from on high;
set me free and rescue me
from the deep waters,
from the grasp of foreigners,
8whose mouths speak falsehood,
whose right hands are deceitful.
9I will sing to You a new song, O God;
on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You —
10to Him who gives victory to kings,
who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.
11Set me free and rescue me
from the grasp of foreigners,
whose mouths speak falsehood,
whose right hands are deceitful.
12Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters like corner pillars
carved to adorn a palace.
13Our storehouses will be full,
supplying all manner of produce;
our flocks will bring forth thousands,
tens of thousands in our fields.
14Our oxen will bear great loads.
There will be no breach in the walls,
no going into captivity,
and no cry of lament in our streets.
15Blessed are the people of whom this is so;
blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
1I will exalt You, my God and King;
I will bless Your name forever and ever.
2Every day I will bless You,
and I will praise Your name forever and ever.
3Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable.
4One generation will commend Your works to the next,
and will proclaim Your mighty acts —
5the glorious splendor of Your majesty.
And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.
6They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds,
and I will declare Your greatness.
7They will extol the fame of Your abundant goodness
and sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
8The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion.
9The LORD is good to all;
His compassion rests on all He has made.
10All You have made will give You thanks, O LORD,
and Your saints will bless You.
11They will tell of the glory of Your kingdom
and speak of Your might,
12to make known to men Your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.
13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and Your dominion endures through all generations.
The LORD is faithful in all His words
and kind in all His actions.
14The LORD upholds all who fall
and lifts up all who are bowed down.
15The eyes of all look to You,
and You give them their food in season.
16You open Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17The LORD is righteous in all His ways
and kind in all His deeds.
18The LORD is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call out to Him in truth.
19He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;
He hears their cry and saves them.
20The LORD preserves all who love Him,
but all the wicked He will destroy.
21My mouth will declare the praise of the LORD;
let every creature bless His holy name
forever and ever.
