| [1]Hear my prayer, O Lord , and hearken unto my supplication: answer me in thy truth and in thy righteousness. |
[1]A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. |
| [2](And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall none that liveth, be justified) |
[2]And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living 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: |
[3]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. |
| [4]And my spirit was in perplexity in me, and mine heart within me was amassed. |
[4]Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. |
| [5]Yet do I remember the time past: I meditate in all thy works, yea, I do meditate in the works of thine hands. |
[5]I remember the days of old, I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. |
| [6]I stretch forth mine hands unto thee: my soul desireth after thee, as the thirsty land. Selah. |
[6]I stretch forth my hands to thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a 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. |
[7]Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like 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. |
[8]Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul to thee. |
| [9]Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: for I hid me with thee. |
[9]Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to thee to hide me. |
| [10]Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God: let thy good spirit lead me unto the land of righteousness. |
[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, and for thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. |
[11]Revive me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake 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. |
[12]And of thy mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. |
