1 Give ear to my prayer, O Lord,
And my supplications hear;
Answer me in faithfulness;
In Thy righteousness.
Into judgment enter not
With Thy servant Lord, I pray;
For no living man is just
Righteous in Thy sight.
2 For the enemy, my foe,
Persecuted he my soul;
My life hath he smitten down;
Down unto the ground;
Made me in the darkness dwell;
As those that have long been dead.
My spirit is overwhelmed,
My heart desolate.
3 I remember days of old;
Meditate on all Thy ways;
And I muse on all Thy works;
All Thy hands have wrought.
After Thee my soul does thirst;
As a thirsty land, Selah.
Hear me, Lord, make haste I pray,
For my spirit fails.
4 Lord hear me, I pray of Thee,
Hide not Thou Thy face from me;
Lest like unto them I be;
Down unto the dust.
Cause Thy servant, Lord, to hear;
Show Thy loving kindness, Lord;
For I lift my soul to Thee;
I in Thee do trust.
