Psalms 143:3 in Context — Psalms 143
1 Psaume de David. Éternel, écoute ma prière, prête l’oreille à mes supplications! Exauce-moi dans ta fidélité, dans ta justice!
2 N’entre pas en jugement avec ton serviteur! Car aucun vivant n’est juste devant toi.
3 L’ennemi poursuit mon âme, Il foule à terre ma vie; Il me fait habiter dans les ténèbres, Comme ceux qui sont morts depuis longtemps.
4 Mon esprit est abattu au-dedans de moi, Mon cœur est troublé dans mon sein.
5 Je me souviens des jours d’autrefois, Je médite sur toutes tes œuvres, Je réfléchis sur l’ouvrage de tes mains.
