New King James Version
Psalms 143
1 And in Your righteousness. 2 For in Your sight no one living is righteous. 3 Like those who have long been dead. 4 My heart within me is distressed. 5 I muse on the work of Your hands. 6 Selah 7 Lest I be like those who go down into the pit. 8 For I lift up my soul to You. 9 In You I take shelter. 10 Lead me in the land of uprightness. 11 For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble. 12 For I am Your servant.
