1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

<>Hear my prayer, O LORD, <>O LORD, give ear to my supplications, <>O LORD … answer me

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

<>enter not into judgment with thy servant, <>thy servant, <>in thy sight shall no man living be justified

3 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.

<>the enemy hath persecuted my soul, <>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 works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

<>I remember the days of old

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

<>I stretch forth my hands unto thee, <>my soul thirsteth after thee, <>thirsty

7 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.

<>hide not thy face from me

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.

<>Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning, <>thy lovingkindness, <>in thee do I trust, <>in thee do I trust … I lift up my soul unto thee., <>cause me to know the way wherein I should walk

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

<>Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies, <>Deliver me, <>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 into the land of uprightness.

<>Teach me to do thy will, <>thy spirit is good

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

<>Quicken me, O LORD, <>bring my soul out of trouble

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

<>thy mercy, <>them that afflict my soul, <>I am thy servant.
