Psalms 143:3-7

³For the enemy pursued my soul; he made low my life in the earth. He hath set me in dark places, as the dead men of the world,

⁴and my spirit was anguished on me; mine heart was troubled in me.

⁵I was mindful of eld or old days, I bethought in all thy works; I be-thought in the deeds of thine hands.

⁶I held forth mine hands to thee; my soul was as earth without water to thee.

⁷Lord, hear thou me swiftly; my spirit failed. Turn thou not away thy face from me; and I shall be like them that go down into the pit.
