LORD, hear my prayer, †
    turn Your ear toward my plea, *
    in Your faithfulness and righteousness, answer me.
And do not place judgment against Your servant, *
    for no one living is righteous before You.

For the enemy pursues my soul, †
    they crush my life into the ground, *
    making me dwell in the darkness, with those long dead.
So my spirit is weakening within me, *
    within me, my heart is in desolation.

I remember the days of old, †
    meditate on all that You have done, *
    and reflect on the works of Your hands.
I spread out my hands to You, *
    my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
selah
Quickly, LORD, answer me, *
    for my spirit fails.
Don't hide Your face from me, *
    or I will follow those going down into the pit.

Let the morning bring word of Your faithfulness, *
    for I trust in You.
Show me the way I should go, *
    for I lift my soul to You.

Save me from my enemies, LORD, *
    in You, I take refuge.
Teach me to do Your will, *
    for You are my God.
May Your good spirit lead me on level ground; *
    For Your name's sake, LORD, revive me.
In Your righteousness, *
    deliver my soul from trouble.

[And in Your faithfulness, put an end to my enemies, †
    and ruin all who attack my soul, *
    for I am Your servant.]
