I've never really connected with the Psalms, but I ran across one tonight that really hit me. Some excerpts from Psalm 143:

"O Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief...
The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground...
I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. I spread out my hands to you; my souls thirsts for you like a parched land...
For your name's sake, O Lord, preserve my life, in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies and destroy all my foes, for I am your servant."
