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.
