Psalm 143

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

A Psalm of David.

¹Hear my prayer, O Lord;
    give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
    answer me in your righteousness.
²Do not enter into judgment with your servant,
    for no one living is righteous before you.

³For the enemy has pursued me,
crushing my life to the ground,
making me sit in darkness like those long dead.
