A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me. |
|
2
|
Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You. |
|
3
|
For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead. |
|
4
|
My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me. |
|
5
|
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands. |
|
6
|
I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah |
|
7
|
Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit. |
|
8
|
Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul. |
|
9
|
Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge. |
|
10
|
Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. |
|
11
|
For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble. |
|
12
|
And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant. |
