Prayer for Help and Guidance.

¹ Hear my prayer, LORD,
^(C1)Listen to my pleadings!
Answer me in Your ^(C2)faithfulness, in Your ^(C3)righteousness!

² And ^(C1)do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For ^(C2)no person living is righteous in Your sight.

³ For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life ^(C1)to the ground;
He ^(C2)has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

⁴ Therefore ^(C1)my spirit ^(F1)feels weak within me;
My heart is ^(F2)(C2)appalled within me.

⁵ I ^(C1)remember the days of old;
I ^(C2)meditate on all Your accomplishments;
I ^(C3)reflect on the work of Your hands.

⁶ I ^(C1)spread out my hands to You;
My ^(C2)soul longs for You, like a weary land. Selah

^7 (C1)Answer me quickly, LORD, my ^(C2)spirit fails;
^(C3)Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will be the same as ^(C4)those who go down to the pit.

⁸ Let me hear Your ^(C1)faithfulness ^(C2)in the morning,
For I trust ^(C3)in You;
Teach me the ^(C4)way in which I should walk;
For to You I ^(C5)lift up my soul.

^9 (C1)Save me, LORD, from my enemies;
^(F1)I take refuge in You.

^10 (C1)Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let ^(C2)Your good Spirit ^(C3)lead me on level ^(F1)ground.

^11 (C1)For the sake of Your name, LORD, ^(C2)revive me.
^(C3)In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

¹² And in Your faithfulness, ^(F1)(C1)destroy my enemies,
And ^(C2)eliminate all those who attack my soul,
For ^(C3)I am Your servant.
