Psalms 143:1-7
-
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
-
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
-
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
-
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
-
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
-
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
-
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
