Psalms 143:1-5

¹Yahweh, hear me while I pray to you! Because you are righteous and because you faithfully do what you have promised, listen to what I am pleading that you do for me.

²I am one who serves you; do not judge me, because you know that everyone has done things that are wrong►.

³My enemies have pursued me; they have completely defeated me. It is as though they have put me in a dark prison, where I have nothing good to ◄ hope for/expect►, like those who died long ago SIM.

⁴So I am very discouraged; I am very dismayed/worried.

⁵I remember what has happened previously: I ◄meditate on/think about► all the things that you have done; I consider all the great deeds that you SYN have performed.
