[2]
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
[3]
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
