A Psalm of David.
Hear my
prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in
thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy
righteousness.
02 And enter not into judgment with thy servant:
for in thy sight shall no man living be
justified.
03 For 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.
04 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me;
my heart within me is desolate.
05 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all
thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
06 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul
thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

07 Hear 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.
08 Cause 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.
09 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee
unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God:
thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of
uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for
thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of
trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and
destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am
thy servant.
