[1]Hear my prayer, O Lord , and hearken unto my supplication: answer me in thy truth and in thy righteousness.
[2](And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall none that liveth, be justified)
[3]For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath smitten my life down to the earth: he hath laid me in the darkness, as they that have been dead long ago:
[4]And my spirit was in perplexity in me, and mine heart within me was amassed.
[5]Yet do I remember the time past: I meditate in all thy works, yea, I do meditate in the works of thine hands.
[6]I stretch forth mine hands unto thee: my soul desireth after thee, as the thirsty land. Selah.
[7]Hear me speedily, O Lord , for my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, else I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.
[8]Let me hear thy loving kindness in the morning, for in thee is my trust: show me the way, that I should walk in, for I lift up my soul unto thee.
[9]Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: for I hid me with thee.
[10]Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God: let thy good spirit lead me unto the land of righteousness.
[11]Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake, and for thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
[12]And for thy mercy slay mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
