Psalms 143:3 Context
1[A Psalme of Dauid.] Heare my prayer, O Lord, giue eare to my supplications: in thy faithfulnesse answere me, and in thy righteousnes. 2And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall no man liuing be iustified. 3For the enemie hath persecuted my soule, he hath smitten my life downe to the ground: hee hath made mee to dwell in darkenesse, as those that haue bene long dead. 4Therefore is my spirit ouerwhelmed within me: my heart within me is desolate. 5I remember the dayes of old, I meditate on all thy workes: I muse on the worke of thy hands.
