Psalm 143:3-5

Modern English Version

³ For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
    he has crushed my life down to the ground;
he has made me to dwell in darkness,
    as those who have been long dead.
⁴ Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
    my heart within me is desolate.
⁵ I remember the days of old;
    I meditate on all Your works;
    I consider the work of Your hands.
