| | 1 | A psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. | |
| | 2 | Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. | |
| | 3 | The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead. | |
| | 4 | So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed. | |
| | 5 | I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. | |
| | 6 | I spread 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 go down to the pit. | |
| | 8 | Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. | |
| | 9 | Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. | |
| | 10 | Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. | |
| | 11 | For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. | |
| | 12 | In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant. | |
