3 The enemy pursues me,he crushes me to the ground;he makes me dwell in the darknesslike those long dead.
4 So my spirit grows faint within me;my heart within me is dismayed.
5 I remember the days of long ago;I meditate on all your worksand consider what your hands have done.
6 I spread out my hands to you;I thirst for you like a parched land.
7 Answer me quickly, Lord;my spirit fails.Do not hide your face from meor I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,for I have put my trust in you.Show me the way I should go,for to you I entrust my life.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Lord,for I hide myself in you.
