Psalms 143:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. A psalm of David.Lord, hear my prayer;in your faithfulness listen to my pleading;answer me in your righteousness.

2. Do not enter into judgment with your servant;before you no one can be just.

3. The enemy has pursued my soul;he has crushed my life to the ground.He has made me dwell in darknesslike those long dead.

4. My spirit is faint within me;my heart despairs.
