Psalms 143:12

And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soule: for I am thy seruant. Psalms 143:12 (KJV)

The quotation presented is a reference to Psalm 143:12 in the King James Version. The King James Version includes Psalm 143 with twelve verses, and the quoted line is said to match verse twelve exactly according to one source. Another source observes that the wording of verse twelve in the King James Version is different, noting that it reads “…and I will rejoice in the LORD…”. This observation indicates that the quoted wording may derive from a different translation or from a paraphrase rather than the standard KJV text. The reference to Psalm 143:12 is therefore valid in terms of chapter and verse numbering, even though the exact wording may vary between textual traditions. The Book of Psalms in the King James Version contains one hundred and fifty chapters, with Psalm 150 identified as the final chapter of the collection. The existence of the verse within the Psalter is therefore confirmed, and the chapter‑and‑verse citation is accurate. The discrepancy in wording highlights the importance of consulting the specific translation when quoting Scripture. The verse itself expresses a plea for divine mercy, a request that enemies be cut off, that those who afflict the soul be destroyed, and it concludes with the speaker’s declaration of servanthood to God. Both statements about the verse’s existence and the structural facts about the Psalter are preserved, while the note about possible translation differences remains part of the discussion.
