1A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.1A psalm of David. LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
2Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.2Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
3For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.3The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.
4My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.4So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.5I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
6I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah6I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.
7Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.7Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.8Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
9Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.9Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you.
10Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.11For your name's sake, LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
12And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.12In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
