1 A psalm of David. Hear my prayer, Adonai, give ear to my petitions. In Your faithfulness and Your righteousness, answer me!
2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for in Your eyes no one living is righteous.
3 For an enemy pursues my soul. He crushes my life down to the ground. He makes me dwell in darkness, like those long dead.
4 So my spirit grows faint within me. My heart is shocked within me.
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all You have done. I ponder the work of Your hands.
6 I spread forth my hands to You. My soul longs for You as a parched land. Selah
