Psalms 143:1-3
11O Lord, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for help! Because of your faithfulness and justice, answer me!
2Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you.
3Certainly 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.
