International Standard VersionNew American Standard Bible 1995
1LORD, hear my prayer; pay attention to my request, because you are faithful; answer me in your righteousness.1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
2Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for no living person is righteous in your sight.2And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous.
3For those who oppose me are pursuing my life, crushing me to the ground, making me sit in darkness like those who died long ago.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.
4As a result, my spirit is desolate within me, and my mind within me is appalled.4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me.
5I remember the former times, meditating on everything you have done. I think about the work of your hands.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 toward you, longing for you like a parched land. Interlude6I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
7Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit is failing. Do not hide your face from me; otherwise, I will become like those who descend 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.
8In the morning let me hear of your gracious love, for in you I trust. Cause me to know the way I should take, because I have set my hope on you.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 from my enemies, LORD. I have taken refuge 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. Let 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 the sake of your name, LORD, preserve my life. Because you are righteous, bring me out of trouble.11For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12Because of your gracious love, you will cut off my enemies. You will destroy all who oppose me, 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.
