King James Version
"For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead."
— Psalms 143:3, King James Version
“For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. ”
“For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.”
“Certainly my enemies chase me. They smash me into the ground. They force me to live in dark regions, like those who have been dead for ages.”
“Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?”
“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.”
“For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.”
Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
