Psalms 142:1-3

¹A Psalm of David, when his son pursued him. O Lord, attend to my prayer: Hearken to my supplication in thy truth; Hear me in thy righteousness.

²And enter not into judgment with thy servant, For in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

³For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has brought my life down to the ground; He has made me to dwell in a dark place, as those that have been long dead.
