Psalms 143:10
8 Let 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.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
