Psalm 143:1-4 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹O LORD, hear my prayer.

In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea;

in Your righteousness, answer me.

²Do not bring Your servant into judgment,

for no one alive is righteous before You.

³For the enemy has pursued my soul,

crushing my life to the ground,

making me dwell in darkness

like those long since dead.

⁴My spirit grows faint within me;

my heart is dismayed inside me.
