New Living TranslationNET Bible
1Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.1A psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for help! Because of your faithfulness and justice, answer me!
2Don’t put your servant on trial, for no one is innocent before you.2Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you.
3My enemy has chased me. He has knocked me to the ground and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.3Certainly my enemies chase me. They smash me into the ground. They force me to live in dark regions, like those who have been dead for ages.
4I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear.4My strength leaves me; I am absolutely shocked.
5I remember the days of old. I ponder all your great works and think about what you have done.5I recall the old days; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on your accomplishments.
6I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Interlude6I spread my hands out to you in prayer; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land.
7Come quickly, LORD, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don’t turn away from me, or I will die.7Answer me quickly, LORD! My strength is fading. Do not reject me, or I will join those descending into the grave.
8Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.8May I hear about your loyal love in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way I should go, because I long for you.
9Rescue me from my enemies, LORD; I run to you to hide me.9Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD! I run to you for protection.
10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.10Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God. May your kind presence lead me into a level land.
11For the glory of your name, O LORD, preserve my life. Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.11O LORD, for the sake of your reputation, revive me! Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!
12In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies and destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.12As a demonstration of your loyal love, destroy my enemies! Annihilate all who threaten my life, for I am your servant.
