1. Hear my prayer, O Lord, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
2. And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous.
3. For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.
4. Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me.
5. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands.
6. I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
7. Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
