Psalm 143:1-3

The Voice

Psalm 143

A song of David.

¹Eternal One, I come to You in prayer.
    Hear me out; I plead with You.
    Lend an ear to my requests.
    In Your faithfulness and justice, respond to my pleas.
²Be kind and slow to judge Your faithful servant,
    for compared to You, no one is truly just.

³My adversary has pressed in, drawn closer, threatened my life;
    he’s crushed me, driven me underground.
    He’s forced me to live in the dark;
    it’s as if I joined those who died a long time ago.
