Psalms 143:3
1 O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
