Psalms 143:2 (KJV)

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

The fear of every man, and that one that leads to real wisdom, is that God would judge us. The Psalmist knows well that there is no man that can be justified by his own merits in the sight of God. 

• The enemy oppresses us[1]
• Our own sins condemn us[2]
• Other enemies afflict us[3]

And so all we can ask is that God hide us[4]and to quicken us.[5]

---

[1]vs 3; I consider this an allusion to Satan

[2]vs 4

[3]vs 9,12; people who press us into sinful circumstances

[4]vs 9

[5]vs 11; another term for salvation. At the moment we are saved we become hidden in Christ and our justification is in the Cross and not in ourselves.
