1. A psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for help! Because of your faithfulness and justice, answer me!
|
1. A Psalm H4210 of David H1732 . Hear H8085 my prayer H8605 , O LORD H3068 , give ear H238 to H413 my supplications H8469 : in thy faithfulness H530 answer H6030 me, and in thy righteousness H6666 .
|
|
2. Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you.
|
2. And enter H935 not H408 into judgment H4941 with H854 thy servant H5650 : for H3588 in thy sight H6440 shall no H3808 man H3605 living H2416 be justified H6663 .
|
|
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.
|
3. For H3588 the enemy H341 hath persecuted H7291 my soul H5315 ; he hath smitten H1792 my life H2416 down to the ground H776 ; he hath made me to dwell H3427 in darkness H4285 , as those that have been long H5769 dead H4191 .
|
|
4. My strength leaves me; I am absolutely shocked.
|
4. Therefore is my spirit H7307 overwhelmed H5848 within H5921 me ; my heart H3820 within H8432 me is desolate H8074 .
|
|
5. I recall the old days; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on your accomplishments.
|
5. I remember H2142 the days H3117 of old H4480 H6924 ; I meditate H1897 on all H3605 thy works H6467 ; I muse H7878 on the work H4639 of thy hands H3027 .
|
|
6. I spread my hands out to you in prayer; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land.
|
6. I stretch forth H6566 my hands H3027 unto thee H413 : my soul H5315 thirsteth after thee , as a thirsty H5889 land H776 . Selah H5542 .
|
|
7. Answer me quickly, LORD! My strength is fading. Do not reject me, or I will join those descending into the grave.
|
7. Hear H6030 me speedily H4116 , O LORD H3068 : my spirit H7307 faileth H3615 : hide H5641 not H408 thy face H6440 from H4480 me , lest I be like H4911 unto H5973 them that go down H3381 into the pit H953 .
|
|
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.
|
8. Cause me to hear H8085 thy lovingkindness H2617 in the morning H1242 ; for H3588 in thee do I trust H982 : cause me to know H3045 the way H1870 wherein H2098 I should walk H1980 ; for H3588 I lift up H5375 my soul H5315 unto H413 thee.
|
|
9. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD! I run to you for protection.
|
9. Deliver H5337 me , O LORD H3068 , from mine enemies H4480 H341 : I flee unto thee to hide me H3680 H413 .
|
|
10. Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God. May your kind presence lead me into a level land.
|
10. Teach H3925 me to do H6213 thy will H7522 ; for H3588 thou H859 art my God H430 : thy spirit H7307 is good H2896 ; lead H5148 me into the land H776 of uprightness H4334 .
|
|
11. O LORD, for the sake of your reputation, revive me! Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!
|
11. Quicken H2421 me , O LORD H3068 , for thy name's sake H4616 H8034 : for thy righteousness H6666 ' sake bring my soul out H3318 H5315 of trouble H4480 H6869 .
|
|
12. As a demonstration of your loyal love, destroy my enemies! Annihilate all who threaten my life, for I am your servant.
|
12. And of thy mercy H2617 cut off H6789 mine enemies H341 , and destroy H6 all H3605 them that afflict H6887 my soul H5315 : for H3588 I H589 am thy servant H5650 .
