Psalm 143:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

A Psalm of David.

143 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my supplications!
In thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness!
²Enter not into judgment with thy servant;
for no man living is righteous before thee.

³For the enemy has pursued me;
he has crushed my life to the ground;
he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
