1 | Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy
faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. |
|
2 | And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight
shall no man living be justified. |
|
3 | 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. |
|
4 | Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within
me is desolate. |
|
5 | I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I
muse on the work of thy hands. |
|
6 | I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after
thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. |
|
7 | 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. |
|
8 | 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. |
|
9 | Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to
hide me. |
|
10 | Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is
good; lead me into the land of uprightness. |
|
11 | Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy
righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. |
|
12 | And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them
that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. |
