1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, And in Your righteousness.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 enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no one living is righteous.2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in darkness, Like those who have long been dead.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.
4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is distressed.4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah6I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7Answer me speedily, O LORD; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.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.
8Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to 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.
9Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.9Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11Revive me, O LORD, for Your name’s sake! For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.11Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12In Your mercy cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul; 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.
