Psalm 143:3-5

Good News Translation

³ My enemies have hunted me down
    and completely defeated me.
They have put me in a dark prison,
    and I am like those who died long ago.
⁴ So I am ready to give up;
    I am in deep despair.

⁵ I remember the days gone by;
    I think about all that you have done,
    I bring to mind all your deeds.
