1. Hear my prayer, O Lord,give ear to my supplications;in Your faithfulness answer me,and in Your righteousness.
2. Enter not into judgment with Your servant,for in Your sight no one living is righteous.
3. For the enemy has persecuted my soul;he has crushed my life down to the ground;he has made me to dwell in darkness,as those who have been long dead.
4. Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;my heart within me is desolate.
5. I remember the days of old;I meditate on all Your works;I consider the work of Your hands.
6. I stretch forth my hands unto You;my soul thirsts after You as a thirsty land. Selah
