AnswerH6030 me in Your 2faithfulnessH530, in Your 3righteousnessH6666!2And 4do not enterH935 into judgmentH4941 with Your servantH5650, For in Your sightH6440 5noH3808 manH2416 livingH2416 is righteousH6663.3For the enemyH340 has persecutedH7291 my soulH5315; He has crushedH1792 my lifeH2421 6to the groundH776; He 7has made me dwellH3427 in darkH4285 placesH4285, like those who have longH5769 been deadH4191.4Therefore 8my spiritH7307 9is overwhelmedH5848 withinH5921 me; My heartH3820 is 10 11appalledH8074 withinH8432 me.

5I 12rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH6924; I 13meditateH1897 on allH3605 Your doingsH6467; I 14museH7878 on the workH4639 of Your handsH3027.6I 15stretchH6566 out my handsH3027 to You; My 16soulH5315 longs for You, as a 17parchedH5889 landH776. 18SelahH5542.

7 19AnswerH6030 me quicklyH4118, O LordH3068, my 20spiritH7307 failsH3615; 21Do not hideH5641 Your faceH6440 from me, Or I will becomeH4911 likeH4911 22those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953.8Let me hearH8085 Your 23lovingkindnessH2617 24in the morningH1242; For I trustH982 25in You; TeachH3045 me the 26wayH1870 in whichH2098 I should walkH1980; For to You I 27liftH5375 up my soulH5315.9 28DeliverH5337 me, O LordH3068, from my enemiesH340; 29I takeH3680 refugeH3680 in You.

10 30TeachH3925 me to doH6213 Your will, For You are my GodH430; Let 31Your goodH2896 SpiritH7307 32leadH5148 me on levelH4334 33groundH776.11 34For the sakeH4616 of Your nameH8034, O LordH3068, 35reviveH2421 me. 36In Your righteousnessH6666 bringH3318 my soulH5315 out of troubleH6869.12And in Your lovingkindnessH2617, 37 38cutH6789 offH6789 my enemiesH340 And 39destroyH6 allH3605 those who afflictH6887 my soulH5315, For 40I am Your servantH5650.
