1 A Psalm of David. O YHWH, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness, answer me in Your righteousness! VP

2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for not anyone alive is righteous before Your face. VP

3 For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness, like the dead of old. VP

4 So my spirit through me has grown weak, [and] within me my heart is desolate. VP

5 I remember the days of antiquity; I have meditated on all Your deeds; I muse on the work of Your hands. VP

6 I spread out my hands to You; my soul [is] like a land exhausted for You. Selah VP

7 Hurry to answer me, O YHWH; my spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be likened with those going down [to] the Pit. VP

8 Cause me to hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for in You do I trust; make me to know the way in which I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul. VP

9 Deliver me from my enemies, O YHWH; to You I have fled for refuge. VP

10 Teach me to do Your will, for You [are] my God; May Your good Spirit, lead me into the land of uprightness. VP

11 For the sake of Your name, O YHWH, revive me; in Your righteousness, bring forth my soul from distress. VP

12 And in Your loving devotion, may You cut off my enemies and destroy all afflicting my soul! For I [am] Your servant. VP
