Psalm 143:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

Psalm 143

A Psalm of David.

¹ Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, and in Your righteousness.

² And enter not into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight no man living is [in himself] righteous or justified.^(A)

³ For the enemy has pursued and persecuted my soul, he has crushed my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in dark places as those who have been long dead.
