Psalms 143 — Context

Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;

Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.

The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.

Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.

I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
