Psalms 143:2-8

²(And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall none that liueth, be iustified)

³For the enemie hath persecuted my soule: he hath smitten my life downe to the earth: he hath layde me in the darkenes, as they that haue bene dead long agoe:

⁴And my spirit was in perplexitie in me, and mine heart within me was amased.

⁵Yet doe I remember the time past: I meditate in all thy workes, yea, I doe meditate in the workes of thine hands.

⁶I stretch forth mine hands vnto thee: my soule desireth after thee, as the thirstie land. Selah.

⁷Heare me speedily, O Lord, for my spirit fayleth: hide not thy face from me, els I shall be like vnto them that go downe into the pit.

⁸Let me heare thy louing kindenes in the morning, for in thee is my trust: shewe mee the way, that I should walke in, for I lift vp my soule vnto thee.
