Psalm 142

¹I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
²I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
³When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
⁴I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
⁵I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
⁶Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
⁷Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

Psalm 143

¹Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
²And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
³For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
⁴Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
⁵I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
⁶I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
⁷Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
⁸Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
⁹Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
¹⁰Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
¹¹Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
¹²And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

11And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
²And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
³And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
⁴And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
⁵And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
⁶And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
⁷And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
⁸And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
⁹But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
¹⁰And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
¹¹And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
¹²And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
¹³And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
