Berean Standard Bible · 12 verses
- A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
- Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
- For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
- My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
- I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
- I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah
- 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.
- 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.
- Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
- Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
- For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
- And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
