NASB
"For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead."
— Psalms 143:3, NASB
“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.”
“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! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands.
I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
