¹ Hear my prayer, O Lord,
^(a)Give ear to my supplications!
Answer me in Your ^(b)faithfulness, in Your ^(c)righteousness!
² And ^(d)do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight ^(e)no man living is righteous.
³ For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life ^(f)to the ground;
He ^(g)has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.
⁴ Therefore ^(h)my spirit ^[a]is overwhelmed within me;
My heart is ^[b](i)appalled within me.

⁵ I ^(j)remember the days of old;
I ^(k)meditate on all Your doings;
I ^(l)muse on the work of Your hands.
⁶ I ^(m)stretch out my hands to You;
My ⁽ⁿ⁾soul longs for You, as a ^[c]parched land. ^[d]Selah.

^7 (o)Answer me quickly, O Lord, my ^(p)spirit fails;
^(q)Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like ^(r)those who go down to the pit.
⁸ Let me hear Your ^(s)lovingkindness ^(t)in the morning;
For I trust ^(u)in You;
Teach me the ^(v)way in which I should walk;
For to You I ^(w)lift up my soul.
^9 (x)Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
^[e]I take refuge in You.

^10 (y)Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let ^(z)Your good Spirit ^(aa)lead me on level ^[f]ground.
^11 (ab)For the sake of Your name, O Lord, ^(ac)revive me.
^(ad)In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
¹² And in Your lovingkindness, ^[g](ae)cut off my enemies
And ^(af)destroy all those who afflict my soul,
For ^(ag)I am Your servant.
