- 1
- A Psalm of David.
O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me — in Thy righteousness.
- 2
- And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.
- 3
- For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
- 4
- And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.
- 5
- I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.
- 6
- I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee.
Selah.
- 7
- Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] the pit.
- 8
- Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.
- 9
- Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.
- 10
- Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God — Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
- 11
- For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,
- 12
- And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant!
