1 Hear my prayer, O Lord,give ear to my supplications;in Your faithfulness answer me,and in Your righteousness.
2 Enter not into judgment with Your servant,for in Your sight no one living is righteous.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;he has crushed my life down to the ground;he has made me to dwell in darkness,as those who have been long dead.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old;I meditate on all Your works;I consider the work of Your hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto You;my soul thirsts after You as a thirsty land. Selah
7 Respond to me quickly, O Lord,my spirit fails;do not hide Your face from me,lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;for in You I have my trust;cause me to know the way I should walk,for I lift up my soul unto You.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;I flee unto You for my protection.
10 Teach me to do Your will,for You are my God;may Your good spiritlead me onto level ground.
11 Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake,for Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 In Your mercy cut off my enemies,and destroy all them who afflict my soul,for I am Your servant.
