A Psalm of David.

143 Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.

For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

Psalm 143

A psalm of David.

Lord, hear my prayer,(A)

he makes me dwell in the darkness(F)
    like those long dead.(G)
