1O Lord, hear my prayer;
listen to my cry for mercy;
because of Your faithfulness
answer me in Your righteousness.
2 Do not bring your servant into judgment;
for no one living is righteous before You.
3 For the enemy has pursued me;
he has crushed my life down to the ground;
he has made me dwell in darkness,
like those who have long been dead.
4 My spirit is overwhelmed within me;
my heart is dismayed within me.
5 I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I consider what your hands have done.
6 I spread out my hands to You;
my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah
7 Answer me quickly, O Lord;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide Your face from me,
lest I be like those who go down to the Pit.
8 Let me hear of Your faithful love In the morning,
for I have put my trust in You.
Show me the way in which I should walk,
for I lift up my soul to You.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies,
for I take refuge in You.
10 Teach me to do Your will,
for You are my God;
may Your gracious Spirit
lead me on a level path.
11 Preserve my life, O Lord, for Your name’s sake;
in Your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
12 In Your faithful love, cut off my enemies;
destroy all those who afflict me,
for I am Your servant.
