Psalms 143:3

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.

5 ^aI¹ remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I muse on the work of Your hands.

6 I spread out my hands to You;
^aMy soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah
