This is a song that David wrote.

Please help me, Lord![a]

143 Lord, I pray to you for help.
    Please listen to me.
Answer me, because you do what is right,
    and I know that I can trust you.
Do not judge me, your servant.
    Nobody is righteous when they stand in front of you.

  1. 143:1 David wrote this psalm when he had trouble. Maybe this was when his son Absalom wanted to kill him. See 1 Samuel 15—19.
