Psalm 143:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

143 Lord, I pray to you for help.
    Please listen to me.
Answer me, because you do what is right,
    and I know that I can trust you.
² Do not judge me, your servant.
    Nobody is righteous when they stand in front of you.
³ My enemies are chasing me.
    They knock me down to the ground.
They make me live in dark places,
    like people who have been dead for a long time.
