1A psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for help! Because of your faithfulness and justice, answer me! 1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you. 2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
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. 3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4My strength leaves me; I am absolutely shocked. 4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5I recall the old days; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on your accomplishments. 5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6I spread my hands out to you in prayer; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land. 6I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7Answer me quickly, LORD! My strength is fading. Do not reject me, or I will join those descending into the grave. 7Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
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. 8Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD! I run to you for protection. 9Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God. May your kind presence lead me into a level land. 10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11O LORD, for the sake of your reputation, revive me! Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble! 11Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12As a demonstration of your loyal love, destroy my enemies! Annihilate all who threaten my life, for I am your servant. 12And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
