Psalms 143:3 in Context — Psalms 143
1 Salmo de David. OH Jehová, oye mi oración, escucha mis ruegos: respóndeme por tu verdad, por tu justicia.
2 Y no entres en juicio con tu siervo; porque no se justificará delante de ti ningún viviente.
3 Porque ha perseguido el enemigo mi alma; ha postrado en tierra mi vida; hame hecho habitar en tinieblas como los ya muertos.
4 Y mi espíritu se angustió dentro de mí; pasmóse mi corazón.
5 Acordéme de los días antiguos; meditaba en todas tus obras; reflexionaba en las obras de tus manos.
