O LORD, I call to you, come quickly to me, Hear my voice when I call to you.
May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.
Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in whcked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies.
Let a righteous man strike me- it is a kindness, let him rebuke me- it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it..Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers;
their rulers will be trown down from the clifts, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
They will say,"As one plows and breaks up thee arth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave."
But my eyes are fixed on you, O Soverign LORD in you I take refuge= do not give me over tod eath.
Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety
Psalm 142
I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
i pour out my complaint before him; before him I tell my trouble
When my spirit grows faint within me. it is you who know my way, In the path where I walk men have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
Look to my right and see; no one is concerned for me, I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
I cry to you, O LORD; I say,"You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living,"
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pirsue me, for they are too strong for me.
Set me free from my preison, that I may praise your name. Then ther ighteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.
Psalm 143
O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
Do not bring your servant inti judgment, for no one living is righteous before you,
The enemy pursues me, be crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead.

I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
I spread out my hands to you: my soul thirsts for you like a parched land Selah
Answer me quickly , O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
Let the morning bring me word of your cunfailing love. for I have put my trust in you, Show me thew ay I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
Rescue me from my enmies O LORD,for I hide myself in you.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness , bring me out of trouble,
In your unfailing love, silence my enemies destroy all my foes, for O am your servant.
Psalm 144
Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
O LORD, what is man that you care for him, the son pf man that you think of him?
Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow.
Part your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains ,so that they smoke.
Send forth lightnining and scatter the enemies; shoot your arrows and rout them.
Reach down your hand from on high, deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters from the hands of foreigners
whjose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are decetful.
I will sing a new song to you, O God; on the ten-striged Iyre I will make music to you,
to the One who gives victory to kings, who delivers his servant David from the deadly sword
Deliver me and rescue me from the hands of foreigners whjose mouths are fullof lies, whose right hands are deceitful.
Then our sons in tehir youth will be like well-nurtured plants, abd our daughters will be like pillars carved to adom a palace.
Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands , by tens of thosands in our fields;
our oven will draw heavy loads ,There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets,
Blessed are the people of whom this is true; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
