Introduction
The psalmist prays for mercy, and deprecates judgment, Psalm 143:1 , Psalm 143:2 . His persecutions, Psalm 143:3 . His earnest prayer for deliverance, Psalm 143:4-9 . Prays for God's quickening Spirit, Psalm 143:10 , Psalm 143:11 . And for the total discomfiture of his adversaries, Psalm 143:12 ;
The Hebrew and all the Versions attribute this Psalm to David; and the Vulgate, Septuagint, Ethiopic and Arabic state that it was composed on the rebellion of his son Absalom: nor is there any thing in the Psalm that positively disagrees with this inscription. This is the last of the seven Psalms styled penitential.
