Psalms 143:4

Hear my prayer, LORD.

Listen to my petitions.

In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant,

for in your sight no man living is righteous.

For the enemy pursues my soul.

He has struck my life down to the ground.

He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

I remember the days of old.

I meditate on all your doings.

I contemplate the work of your hands.

I spread out my hands to you.

My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

Hurry to answer me, LORD.

My spirit fails.

Don’t hide your face from me,

so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
