Psalms 143:1-6

Lord, you must hear my prayer, for you are faithful to your promises. Answer my cry, O righteous God! Don’t bring me into your courtroom for judgment, for there is no one who is righteous before you. My enemies have chased and caught me and crushed my life into dust. Now I’m living in the darkness of death’s shadow. My inner being is in depression and my heart is heavy, dazed with despair. I remember the glorious miracles of days gone by, and I often think of all the wonders of old. Now I’m reaching out to you, thirsting for you like the dry, cracked ground thirsts for rain. Pause in his presence
