New King James Version

Psalms 143:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

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,For 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 in darkness,Like those who have long been dead.

4. Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;My heart within me is distressed.

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