Verse 1

A Psalm of David. Hear{H8085} my prayer,{H8605} O Jehovah;{H3068} Give ear{H238} to my supplications:{H8469} In thy faithfulness{H530} answer{H6030} me, [and] in thy righteousness.{H6666}

Verse 2

And enter{H935} not into judgment{H4941} with thy servant;{H5650} For in thy sight{H6440} no man living{H2416} is righteous.{H6663}

Verse 3

For 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 dark{H4285} places, as those that have been long{H5769} dead.{H4191}

Verse 4

Therefore is my spirit{H7307} overwhelmed{H5848} within me; My heart{H3820} within{H8432} me is desolate.{H8074}

Verse 5

I remember{H2142} the days{H3117} of old;{H6924} I meditate{H1897} on all thy doings;{H6467} I muse{H7878} on the work{H4639} of thy hands.{H3027}

Verse 6

I spread forth{H6566} my hands{H3027} unto thee: My soul{H5315} [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary{H5889} land.{H776} {H5542}

Verse 7

Make haste{H4118} to answer{H6030} me, O Jehovah;{H3068} My spirit{H7307} faileth:{H3615} Hide{H5641} not thy face{H6440} from me, Lest I become like{H4911} them that go down{H3381} into the pit.{H953}

Verse 8

Cause me to hear{H8085} thy lovingkindness{H2617} in the morning;{H1242} For in thee do I trust:{H982} Cause me to know{H3045} the way{H1870} wherein{H2098} I should walk;{H3212} For I lift up{H5375} my soul{H5315} unto thee.

Verse 9

Deliver{H5337} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} from mine enemies:{H341} I flee unto thee to hide{H3680} me.

Verse 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 in the land{H776} of uprightness.{H4334}

Verse 11

Quicken{H2421} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} for thy name's{H8034} sake: In thy righteousness{H6666} bring{H3318} my soul{H5315} out of trouble.{H6869}

Verse 12

And in thy lovingkindness{H2617} cut off{H6789} mine enemies,{H341} And destroy{H6} all them that afflict{H6887} my soul;{H5315} For I am thy servant.{H5650}
