Psalm 143:3-5

American Standard Version

³ 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.
⁴ Therefore ^[a]is my spirit overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is desolate.
⁵ I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all thy doings;
I muse on the work of thy hands.
