1A psalm of David. LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
2Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.2And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous.
3The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.3For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.
4So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me.
5I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands.
6I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.6I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
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.7Answer me quickly, O LORD, my spirit fails; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
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.8Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.
9Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you.9Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; I take refuge 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; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11For your name's sake, LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.11For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.12And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am Your servant.
