Hear my prayer, O Lord, and listen to my pleading.
In your faithfulness and fairness answer me.
Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for there is no man who is
righteous in your sight.
For my soul has been assaulted by an enemy, and he has crushed my life into the
ground.
He has caused me to abide within dark places, like those who have been dead for
a long time.
So my spirit within is overwhelmed, and my heart is crushed within me.
I remember days of old, and I contemplate your deeds, as I ponder all the workings
of your hands.
So I'm stretching out my hands, they reach for you.
My soul for you is like a dried-out lamp.
Revive me, revive me.
Answer quickly, Lord, before my spirit fails me.
Oh, do not hide your countenance from me, lest I go like those who sink down in the
pit.
In the morning let me hear of your sweet love.
I am trusting you to train me in the way to walk.
So to you alone I'm lifting up my soul.
From my enemies deliver me, O Lord.
For I am taking refuge in you.
Instruct me to do your will, my God.
Guide me by your good spirit on level ground.
I remember days of old, and I contemplate your deeds, as I ponder all the workings
of your hands.
So I'm stretching out my hands, they reach for you.
My soul for you is like a dried-out lamp.
Revive me, revive me.
Oh, Lord, for your own name's sake, revive me.
In your righteousness my soul bring from distress.
And in your love cut off all of my enemies.
Destroy the ones who seek to hurt my soul.
For I am your servant.
Yes, I am your servant.
I remember days of old, and I contemplate your deeds, as I ponder all the workings
of your hands.
So I'm stretching out my hands, they reach for you.
My soul for you is like a dried-out lamp.
Revive me, revive me.
