Psalms 143:12

10 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.

And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
