1<\/sup>Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>and my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>for thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>and in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.<\/span> <\/p>\n
