Psalm 143:7–9

7  oAnswer me quickly, O Lord!

pMy spirit fails!

qHide not your face from me,

rlest I be like those who go down to the pit.

8  sLet me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,

for in you I ttrust.

uMake me know the way I should go,

vfor to you I lift up my soul.

9  wDeliver me from my enemies, O Lord!

I have fled to you for refuge.1
