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

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

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.

he makes me dwell in the darkness(F)
    like those long dead.(G)
