| 1 | A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, 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 no man living be justified. |
| 3 | For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath crushed 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 fainteth within me; My heart within me is appalled. |
| 5 | I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands. |
| 6 | I spread forth my hands unto Thee; My soul [thirsteth] after Thee, as a weary land. Selah |
| 7 | Answer me speedily, O LORD, My spirit faileth; Hide not Thy face from me; Lest I become like them that go down into the pit. |
| 8 | 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 unto Thee have I lifted up my soul. |
| 9 | Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; With Thee have I hidden myself. |
| 10 | Teach me to do Thy will, For Thou art my God; Let Thy good spirit Lead me in an even land. |
| 11 | For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; In Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. |
| 12 | And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that harass my soul; For I am Thy servant. |
