Psalms 143:2-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

2. Do not enter into judgment with your servant;before you no one can be just.

3. The enemy has pursued my soul;he has crushed my life to the ground.He has made me dwell in darknesslike those long dead.

4. My spirit is faint within me;my heart despairs.

5. I remember the days of old;I ponder all your deeds;the works of your hands I recall.

6. I stretch out my hands toward you,my soul to you like a parched land.Selah

7. Hasten to answer me, Lord;for my spirit fails me.Do not hide your face from me,lest I become like those descending to the pit.

8. In the morning let me hear of your mercy,for in you I trust.Show me the path I should walk,for I entrust my life to you.
