An Earnest Appeal for Guidance and Deliverance

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 Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
aFor in Your sight no one living is righteous. 
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in1 darkness,
Like those who have long been dead. 
4 aTherefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.

Psalms 143:2

Enter not into judgment - al tabo . Do not come into court, either as a Witness against me, or as a Judge, else I am ruined; for thou hast seen all my ways that they are evil, and thy justice requires thee to punish me. Nor can any soul that has ever lived be justified in the sight of thy justice and righteousness. Had I my desert from thee, I should have worse than even my unnatural son intends me. O what a relief is Jesus crucified to a soul in such circumstances!
