| 1. | {A Psalm by David.} Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. |
A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness; |
Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. | ||
| 2. | Don't enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous. | Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes. | And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. | ||
| 3. | For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead. | The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been 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. | Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear. | 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 doings. I contemplate the work of your hands. | I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to 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 spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. | My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah.) | I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. | ||
| 7. | Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, so that I don't become like those who go down into the pit. | Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld. | 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 loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you. | Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you. | Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness 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, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me. | O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you. | 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 in the land of uprightness. | Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness. | 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, Yahweh, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble. | Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take 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. | In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant. | And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against 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. | ||
