[1] Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.
[1] ---
[2] And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
[2] ---
[3] For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
[3] ---
[4] Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
[4] ---
[5] I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I muse on the work of your hands.
[5] ---
[6] I stretch forth my hands to you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. Selah.
[6] ---
[7] Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like to them that go down into the pit.
[7] ---
[8] Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul to you.
[8] ---
[9] Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to you to hide me.
[9] ---
[10] Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
[10] ---
[11] Quicken me, O LORD, for your name’s sake: for your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
[11] ---
[12] And of your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
