Psalms 143 (AMP)

Psalms Chapter 143 (AMP)

Compare with Version:

¹ Give strong drink [as medicine] to him who is ready to pass away, And wine to him whose life is bitter.

² Let him drink and forget his poverty And no longer remember his trouble.

³ Open your mouth for the mute, For the rights of all who are unfortunate and defenseless;

⁴ Open your mouth, judge righteously, And administer justice for the afflicted and needy.

⁵ [4] An excellent woman [one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous], who is he who can find her? Her value is more precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls.

⁶ The heart of her husband trusts in her [with secure confidence], And he will have no lack of gain.

⁷ She comforts, encourages, and does him only good and not evil All the days of her life.

⁸ She looks for wool and flax And works with willing hands in delight.

⁹ She is like the merchant ships [abounding with treasure]; She brings her [household's] food from far away.

¹⁰ She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household And assigns tasks to her maids.

¹¹ She considers a field before she buys or accepts it [expanding her business prudently]; With her profits she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard.

¹² She equips herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task] And makes her arms strong.
