PSALM 143



THE ARGUMENT



This Psalm is much of the same nature with the former, and seems to have been composed much about the same time, and upon the like occasion. This is the last of those which are called penitential Psalms, the former being Psa 6 Psa 32 Psa 38 Psa 51 Psa 102 Psa 130.



The psalmist prayeth that God in faithfulness would hear him, and not enter into Judgment with him, Psa_143:1,2; complaineth of his persecuting enemies, Psa_143:3,4; praying also for speedy deliverance; instruction in God’s ways, and the destruction of his enemies, Psa_143:5-12.



Whereby thou art inclined and engaged to favour righteous persons and just causes.
