¹ A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Jehovah give ear to my supplications; answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness;² and do not enter into judgment with Your servant; for not anyone living is just in Your sight.³ For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has beaten my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness like those who died long ago.⁴ And my spirit within me has fainted; my heart within me is stunned.⁵ I remember the days of old. I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.⁶ I spread out my hands to You; my soul is to You like a weary land. Selah.

⁷ O Jehovah, answer me quickly; my spirit is spent; do not hide Your face from me lest I be like the ones who go down to the Pit.⁸ Cause me to hear Your mercy in the morning, for I do trust in You; cause me to know the way I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.⁹ O Jehovah, deliver me from my enemies; by You I am covered.¹⁰ Teach me to do Your will; for You are my God; Your Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.¹¹ O Jehovah, because of Your name, enliven me; in Your righteousness, bring my soul out of distress.¹² And in Your mercy cut off my enemies; and exterminate all those who distress my soul; for I am Your servant.
