1 Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my supplications: in Your faithfulness answer me, and in Your righteousness.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight no one living shall be justified.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness, like those long dead.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I contemplate the work of Your hands.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

6 I stretch forth my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a thirsty land. Selah.

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails: do not hide Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit.

Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for I trust in You: cause me to know the way I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to You to hide me.

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God: Your Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

11 Revive me, O LORD, for Your name’s sake; for Your righteousness’ sake, bring my soul out of trouble.

Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

12 And in Your mercy, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul; for I am Your servant.

And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
