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

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

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.

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

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

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

^(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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Blessed be the LORD, ^(C1)my rock, Who ^(C2)trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle;

My faithfulness and ^(C1)my fortress, My ^(C2)stronghold and my savior, My ^(C3)shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who ^(C4)subdues ^(F1)my people under me.

LORD, ^(C1)what is man, that You look after him? Or a son of man, that You think of him?

^(C1)Man is like the breath; His ^(C2)days are like a passing shadow.

^(C1)Bend down Your heavens, LORD, and ^(C2)come down; ^(C3)Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

Flash forth ^(C1)lightning and scatter them; Send out Your ^(C2)arrows and confuse them.

Reach out with Your hand ^(C1)from on high; Rescue me and ^(C2)save me from great waters, From the hand of ^(C3)foreigners

Whose mouth ^(C1)speaks deceit, And whose ^(C2)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

God, I will sing a ^(C1)new song to You; On a ^(C2)harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

Who ^(C1)gives salvation to kings, Who ^(C2)rescues His servant David from the evil sword.

Rescue me and save me from the hand of ^(C1)foreigners, Whose mouth ^(C2)speaks deceit And whose ^(C3)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

When our sons in their youth are like ^(C1)growing plants, And our daughters like ^(C2)corner pillars ^(F1)fashioned for a palace,

Our ^(C1)granaries are full, providing every kind of produce, And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our ^(F1)fields;

May our ^(C1)cattle ^(F1)be bred Without ^(F2)(C2)mishap and without ^(F3)(C3)loss, May there be no ^(C4)outcry in our streets!

Blessed are the people who are so situated; ^(C1)Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!

I will ^(C1)exalt You, ^(C2)my God, the King, And I will ^(C3)bless Your name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless You, And I will ^(C1)praise Your name forever and ever.

^(C1)Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; And His ^(C2)greatness is unsearchable.

One ^(C1)generation will praise Your works to another, And will declare Your mighty acts.

On the ^(C1)glorious ^(F1)splendor of Your majesty And ^(C2)on Your wonderful works, I will meditate.

People will speak of the ^(F1)power of Your ^(C1)awesome acts, And I will ^(C2)tell of Your greatness.

They will burst forth ^(F1)in speaking of Your ^(C1)abundant goodness, And will ^(C2)shout joyfully of Your righteousness.

The LORD is ^(C1)gracious and compassionate; Slow to anger and great in mercy.

The LORD is ^(C1)good to all, And His ^(C2)mercies are over all His works.

^(C1)All Your works will give thanks to You, LORD, And Your ^(C2)godly ones will bless You.

They will speak of the ^(C1)glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your might,

To ^(C1)make known to the sons of mankind ^(F1)Your mighty acts, And the ^(C2)glory of the majesty of ^(F1)Your kingdom.

Your kingdom is ^(F1)an ^(C1)everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. ^(F2)The LORD is faithful in His words, And holy in all His works.

The LORD ^(C1)supports all who fall, And ^(C2)raises up all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all ^(F1)look to You, And You ^(C1)give them their food in due time.

You ^(C1)open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

The LORD is ^(C1)righteous in all His ways, And kind in all His works.

The LORD is ^(C1)near to all who call on Him, To all who call on Him ^(C2)in truth.

He will ^(C1)fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also ^(C2)hear their cry for help and save them.

The LORD ^(C1)watches over all who love Him, But He will destroy all the ^(C2)wicked.

My ^(C1)mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, And ^(C2)all flesh will ^(C3)bless His holy name forever and ever.
