1

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah Give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.

2

And enter not into judgment with thy servant For in thy sight no man living is righteous.

3

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

4

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me My heart within me is desolate.

5

I remember the days of old I meditate on all thy doings I muse on the work of thy hands.

6

I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land. [Selah

7

Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah My spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

8

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk For I lift up my soul unto thee.

9

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

10

Teach me to do thy will For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good Lead me in the land of uprightness.

11

Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

12

And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul For I am thy servant.
