3. Certainly my enemies chase me.They smash me into the ground.They force me to live in dark regions,like those who have been dead for ages.
4. My strength leaves me;I am absolutely shocked.
5. I recall the old days;I meditate on all you have done;I reflect on your accomplishments.
6. I spread my hands out to you in prayer;my soul thirsts for you in a parched land.
7. Answer me quickly, Lord!My strength is fading.Do not reject me,or I will join those descending into the grave.
8. May I hear about your loyal love in the morning,for I trust in you.Show me the way I should go,because I long for you.
9. Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord!I run to you for protection.
10. Teach me to do what pleases you,for you are my God.May your kind presencelead me into a level land.
11. O Lord, for the sake of your reputation, revive me!Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!
12. As a demonstration of your loyal love, destroy my enemies!Annihilate all who threaten my life,for I am your servant.
