*A Psalm of David.*

## Text

[1] O LORD, hear my prayer.
In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea;
in Your righteousness, answer me. [2] Do not bring Your servant into judgment,
for no one alive is righteous before You. [3] For the enemy has pursued my soul,
crushing my life to the ground,
making me dwell in darkness
like those long since dead. [4] My spirit grows faint within me;
my heart is dismayed inside me. [5] I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I consider the work of Your hands. [6] I stretch out my hands to You;
my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
Selah [7] Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide Your face from me,
or I will be like those who descend to the Pit. [8] Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning,
for I have put my trust in You.
Teach me the way I should walk,
for to You I lift up my soul. [9] Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD;
I flee to You for refuge. [10] Teach me to do Your will,
for You are my God.
May Your good Spirit lead me
on level ground. [11] For the sake of Your name, O LORD,
revive me.
In Your righteousness,
bring my soul out of trouble. [12] And in Your loving devotion,
cut off my enemies.
Destroy all who afflict me,
for I am Your servant.
