English Standard Version Psalm 143

143 A PSALM OF DAVID.

1  Hear my prayer, O LORD;

give ear to my pleas for mercy!

In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!

2  Enter not into judgment with your servant,

for no one living is righteous before you.

3  For the enemy has pursued my soul;

he has crushed my life to the ground;

he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.

4  Therefore my spirit faints within me;

my heart within me is appalled.
