6 I lift up my hands to you in prayer;like dry ground my soul is thirsty for you.
7 Answer me now, Lord!I have lost all hope.Don't hide yourself from me,or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.
8 Remind me each morning of your constant love,for I put my trust in you.My prayers go up to you;show me the way I should go.
9 I go to you for protection, Lord;rescue me from my enemies.
10 You are my God;teach me to do your will.Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.
11 Rescue me, Lord, as you have promised;in your goodness save me from my troubles!
12 Because of your love for me, kill my enemiesand destroy all my oppressors,for I am your servant.
