[1] Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my prayer. And then answer my prayer. Show me that you are truly good and loyal.
[2] Don’t judge me, your servant. Never, in all my life, could I ever be judged innocent.
[3] But my enemies are chasing me. They have crushed my life into the dirt. They are pushing me into the dark grave, like people who died long ago.
[4] I am ready to give up. I am losing my courage.
[5] But I remember the things that happened long ago. I am thinking about the many things you did. I am talking about the things you did with your great power!
[6] Lord, I lift my arms and pray to you. I am waiting for your help, like a dry land waiting for rain.
[7] Hurry, answer me Lord! I have lost my courage. Don’t turn away from me. Don’t let me die and become like the dead people lying in the grave.
[8] Lord, show me your true love this morning. I trust you. Show me the things I should do. I put my life in your hands!
[9] Lord, I come to you for protection. Save me from my enemies.
[10] Show me what you want me to do. You are my God. Let your good Spirit lead me over level ground.
[11] Lord, let me live, so people will praise your name. Show me that you are truly good, and save me from my enemies.
[12] Lord, show me your love, and defeat my enemies who are trying to kill me. Why? Because I am your servant.
