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