Psalms 143:1 YLT

¹  A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me -- in Thy righteousness.

²  And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

³  For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
