1 O Lord, listen to my prayer.Open your ears to hear my urgent requests.Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
2 Do not take me to court for judgment,because there is no one alivewho is righteous in your presence.
3 The enemy has pursued me.He has ground my life into the dirt.He has made me live in dark placeslike those who have died long ago.
4 That is why I begin to lose hopeand my heart is in a state of shock.
