A Psalm by David.

[1] Hear my prayer, Yahweh.
Listen to my petitions.
In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
[2] Don’t enter into judgment with your servant,
for in your sight no man living is righteous.
[3] For the enemy pursues my soul.
He has struck my life down to the ground.
He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
[4] Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me.
My heart within me is desolate.
[5] I remember the days of old.
I meditate on all your doings.
I contemplate the work of your hands.
[6] I spread out my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.
[7] Hurry to answer me, Yahweh.
My spirit fails.
Don’t hide your face from me,
so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
[8] Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning,
for I trust in you.
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
for I lift up my soul to you.
[9] Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies.
I flee to you to hide me.
[10] Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.
[11] Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake.
In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
[12] In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies,
and destroy all those who afflict my soul,
for I am your servant.
King James Version

A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732

[1] Hear H8085 my prayer, H8605 O Lord, H3068 give ear H238 to my supplications: H8469
In thy faithfulness H530 answer H6030 me, and in thy righteousness. H6666
[2] And enter H935 not into judgment H4941 with H854 thy servant: H5650
For H3588 in thy sight H6440 shall no man living H2416 be justified. H6663
[3] For H3588 the enemy H341 hath persecuted H7291 my soul; H5315 He hath smitten H1792 my life H2416 down H1792 to the ground; H776
He hath made me to dwell H3427 in darkness, H4285 as those that have been long H5769 dead. H4191
[4] Therefore is my spirit H7307 overwhelmed H5848 within me;
My heart H3820 within H8432 me is desolate. H8074
[5] I remember H2142 the days H3117 of old; H6924 I meditate H1897 on all thy works; H6467
I muse H7878 on the work H4639 of thy hands. H3027
[6] I stretch forth H6566 my hands H3027 unto H413 thee:
My soul H5315 thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty H5889 land. H776 Selah. H5542
[7] Hear H6030 me speedily, H4118 O Lord: H3068 my spirit H7307 faileth: H3615
Hide H5641 not H408 thy face H6440 from H4480 me, lest I be like H4911§ unto them that go down H3381 into the pit. H953
[8] Cause me to hear H8085 thy lovingkindness H2617 in the morning; H1242 For H3588 in thee do I trust: H982
Cause me to know H3045 the way H1870 wherein H2098 I should walk; H3212 For H3588 I lift up H5375 my soul H5315 unto thee.
[9] Deliver H5337 me, O Lord, H3068 from mine enemies: H341
I flee unto thee to hide H3680 me.
[10] Teach H3925 me to do H6213 thy will; H7522 for thou art my God: H430
Thy spirit H7307 is good; H2896 lead H5148 me into the land H776 of uprightness. H4334
[11] Quicken H2421 me, O Lord, H3068 for thy name’s H8034 sake:
For thy righteousness’ H6666 sake bring H3318 my soul H5315 out of trouble. H6869
[12] And of thy mercy H2617 cut off H6789 mine enemies, H341
And destroy H6 all H3605 them that afflict H6887 my soul: H5315 For I am thy servant. H5650
