Psalms 143:1

PrayerGod's faithfulnessJustice
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.

3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
