2And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
         For in Your sight no man living is righteous.

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.

4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
         My heart is appalled within me.

5I remember the days of old;
         I meditate on all Your doings;
         I muse on the work of Your hands.

6I stretch out my hands to You;
         My soul longs for You, as a parched land.

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 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.

9Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies;
         I take refuge in You.

10Teach me to do Your will,
         For You are my God;
         Let 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.

12And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies
         And destroy all those who afflict my soul,
         For I am Your servant.
