[1] Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
[2] And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous.
[3] For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.
[4] Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me.
[5] I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands.
[6] I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
[7] Answer me quickly, O LORD, my spirit fails; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
[8] Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.
[9] Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; I take refuge in You.
[10] Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
[11] For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
[12] And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am Your servant.
