1 LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.3 The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.4 So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.5 I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.6 I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land. [^1]7 Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.9 Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you.10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.11 For your name's sake, LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.

1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.2 And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I muse on the work of your hands.6 I stretch forth my hands to you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. Selah.7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like to them that go down into the pit.8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul to you.9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to you to hide me.10 Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.11 Quicken me, O LORD, for your name' sake: for your righteousness'sake bring my soul out of trouble.12 And of your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
