1 LORD, hear my prayer, and in your faithfulness
heed my supplications;
answer me in your righteousness.

2 Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for in your sight shall no one 
living be justified.

3 For my enemy has sought my life;
he has crushed me to the ground;
he has made me live in dark places
like those who are long dead.

4 My spirit faints within me;
my heart within me is desolate.

5 I remember the time past;
I muse upon all your deeds;
I consider the works of your hands.

6 I spread out my hands to you;
my soul gasps to you like a thirsty land.

7 O LORD, make haste to answer me;
my spirit fails me;
do not hide your face from me
or I shall be like those who go
down to the pit.

8 Let me hear of your lovingkindness in the morning,
for I put my trust in you;
show me the road that I must walk,
for I lift up my soul to you.

9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD,
for I flee to you for refuge.

10 Teach me to do what pleases you,
for you are my God;
let your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

11 Revive me, O LORD, for you name's sake;
for your righteousness' sake,
bring me out of trouble.

12 Of your goodness, destroy my enemies
and bring all my foes to naught,
for truly I am your servant.
