New International Reader's Version

Psalm 143:1-4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for your favor. You are faithful and right. Come and help me.

2. Don't take me to court and judge me, because in your eyes no living person does what is right.

3. My enemies chase me. They crush me down to the ground. They make me live in darkness like those who died long ago.

4. So I grow weak. Deep down inside me, I'm afraid.
