asv
 
1.    Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
 
2.    And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
 
3.    For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been       long dead.
 
4.    Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate.
 
5.    I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands.
 
6.    I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land.     Selah
 
7.    Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
 
8.    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 Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
 
10.    Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness.
 
11.    Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name`s sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
 
12.    And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant.           Psalm 144       A Psalm of David.
