A Psalm by David. Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
For 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 that have been long dead.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
Hear 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.
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness 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.
Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am your servant.
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
