New Testament

Psalms 143:2-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

2. Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,For in Your sight no one living is righteous.

3. For the enemy has persecuted my soul;He has crushed my life to the ground;He has made me dwell in darkness,Like those who have long been dead.

4. Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;My heart within me is distressed.

5. I remember the days of old;I meditate on all Your works;I muse on the work of Your hands.

6. I spread out my hands to You;My soul longs for You like a thirsty land.Selah

7. Answer me speedily, O Lord;My spirit fails!Do not hide Your face from me,Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.

8. Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,For in You do I trust;Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,For I lift up my soul to You.

9. Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;In You I take shelter.
