² 
And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no man living is righteous or justified.^(A)
3 
For the enemy has persecuted me,
He has crushed my life down to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have been long dead.
⁴ 
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed and weak within me [wrapped in darkness];
My heart grows numb within me.
