Psalm 143:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² Don’t judge me, your servant.
    No one alive could be judged innocent by your standards.
³ My enemies are chasing me.
    They have crushed me into the dirt.
They are pushing me into the dark grave,
    like people who died long ago.
⁴ I am ready to give up.
    I am losing my courage.
