1A psalm <04210> of David <01732>. O Lord <03068>, hear <08085> my prayer <08605>! Pay attention <0238> to <0413> my plea for help <08469>! Because of your faithfulness <0530> and justice <06666>, answer <06030> me!
2Do not <0408> sit <0935> in judgment <04941> on your servant <05650>, for <03588> no <03808> one alive <02416> is innocent <06663> before <06440> you.
3Certainly <03588> my enemies <0341> chase <07291> me <05315>. They smash <01792> me <02416> into the ground <0776>. They force me to live <03427> in dark regions <04285>, like those who have been dead <04191> for ages <05769>.
4My strength <07307> leaves <05848> me; I am absolutely shocked <03820> <08074>.
5I recall <02142> the old <06924> days <03117>; I meditate <01897> on all <03605> you have done <06467>; I reflect <07878> on your accomplishments <03027> <04639>.
6I spread <06566> my hands <03027> out to <0413> you in prayer; my soul <05315> thirsts for you in a parched <05889> land <0776>.
7Answer <06030> me quickly <04118>, Lord <03068>! My strength <07307> is fading <03615>. Do not <0408> reject <05641> me, or I will join <05973> <04911> those descending <03381> into the grave <0953>.
8May I hear <08085> about your loyal love <02617> in the morning <01242>, for <03588> I trust <0982> in you. Show <03045> me the way <01870> I should <02098> go <01980>, because <03588> I long for you <05315> <05375>.
9Rescue <05337> me from my enemies <0341>, O Lord <03068>! I run <03680> to <0413> you for protection <03680>.
10Teach <03925> me to do <06213> what pleases <07522> you, for <03588> you <0859> are my God <0433>. May your kind <02896> presence <07307> lead <05148> me into a level <04334> land <0776>.
11O Lord <03068>, for the sake <04616> of your reputation <08034>, revive <02421> me! Because of your justice <06666>, rescue <03318> me <05315> from trouble <06869>!
12As a demonstration of your loyal love <02617>, destroy <06789> my enemies <0341>! Annihilate <06> all <03605> who threaten <06887> my life <05315>, for <03588> I <0589> am your servant <05650>.
