Psalm 143:1-3

Authorized (King James) Version

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.
