IEhovah hear my prayer; give-ear to my supplications-for-grace; in thy faithfulnesse answer me, in thy justice.
[verse 2] And enter not into judgment, with thy servant: for before thee, shall not any living be justified.
[verse 3] For the enemy, persecuteth my soul: smiteth-down to the earth my life: maketh me sit in darknesses, as the dead for ever.
[verse 4] And my spirit is overwhel∣med in me: in mids of me, my heart is wondrously-amazed.
[verse 5] I remember the dayes of old; I meditate on al thy work: I muse on the action of thy hands.
I spread-out my hands unto thee: my soul, as a wearie land, thirsteth for thee, Selah.
[verse 7] Make-speed, answer me Je∣hovah, my spirit fayleth: hide not thy face from me; for I shall be made-like to them that goe-down the pit.
[verse 8] Cause me to hear, thy mercie in the morning, for in thee doe I trust: cause me to know, the way that I should walk; for unto thee, doe I lift up my soul.
[verse 9] Deliver me from mine ene∣mies, O Jehovah; unto thee I flie-for-covert.
[verse 10] Learn me to doe thine ac∣ceptable-will, for thou art my God: thy good spirit; shall lead me, in the land of righteousnes.
[verse 11] For thy names sake Jehovah, thou wilt quicken me: in thy ju∣stice, wilt bring-forth my soul out of distresse.
[verse 12] And in thy mercie, wilt suppresse mine enemies: and de∣stroy al them that afflict my soul; for, I am thy servant.
