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

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.

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