Psalm 143:3-5

International Standard Version

³ For those who oppose me are pursuing my life,
    crushing me to the ground,
making me sit in darkness
    like those who died long ago.
⁴ As a result, my spirit is desolate within me,
    and my mind within me is appalled.

⁵ I remember the former times,
    meditating on everything you have done.
        I think about the work^[a] of your hands.
