Christian Standard BibleNET Bible
1LORD, hear my prayer. In your faithfulness listen to my plea, and in your righteousness answer me.1A psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for help! Because of your faithfulness and justice, answer me!
2Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous in your sight.2Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you.
3For the enemy has pursued me, crushing me to the ground, making me live in darkness like those long dead.3Certainly my enemies chase me. They smash me into the ground. They force me to live in dark regions, like those who have been dead for ages.
4My spirit is weak within me; my heart is overcome with dismay.4My strength leaves me; I am absolutely shocked.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on the work of your hands.5I recall the old days; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on your accomplishments.
6I spread out my hands to you; I am like parched land before you. Selah6I spread my hands out to you in prayer; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land.
7Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, or I will be like those going down to the Pit.7Answer me quickly, LORD! My strength is fading. Do not reject me, or I will join those descending into the grave.
8Let me experience your faithful love in the morning, for I trust in you. Reveal to me the way I should go because I appeal to you.8May I hear about your loyal love in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way I should go, because I long for you.
9Rescue me from my enemies, LORD; I come to you for protection.9Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD! I run to you for protection.
10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me on level ground.10Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God. May your kind presence lead me into a level land.
11For your name's sake, LORD, let me live. In your righteousness deliver me from trouble,11O LORD, for the sake of your reputation, revive me! Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!
12and in your faithful love destroy my enemies. Wipe out all those who attack me, for I am your servant.12As a demonstration of your loyal love, destroy my enemies! Annihilate all who threaten my life, for I am your servant.
