¹LORD, I call upon You; hurry to me! Listen to my voice when I call to You!

²May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The raising of my hands as the evening offering.

³Set a guard, LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.

⁴Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness With people who do wrong; And may I not taste their delicacies.

⁵May the righteous strike me with mercy and discipline me; It is oil for the head; My head shall not refuse it, For my prayer is still against their evil deeds.

⁶Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock, And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.

⁷As when one plows and breaks open the earth, Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

⁸For my eyes are toward You, GOD, the Lord; In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.

⁹Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the snares of those who do wrong.

¹⁰May the wicked fall into their own nets, While I pass by safely.

¹I cry out with my voice to the LORD; With my voice I implore the LORD for compassion.

²I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my trouble before Him.

³When my spirit felt weak within me, You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me.

⁴Look to the right and see; For there is no one who regards me favorably; There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul.

⁵I cried out to You, LORD; I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

⁶Give Your attention to my cry, For I have been brought very low; Rescue me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me.

⁷Bring my soul out of prison, So that I may give thanks to Your name; The righteous will surround me, For You will look after me.”

¹Hear my prayer, LORD, Listen to my pleadings! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!

²And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no person living is righteous in Your sight.

³For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

⁴Therefore my spirit feels weak within me; My heart is appalled within me.

⁵I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your accomplishments; I reflect on the work of Your hands.

⁶I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, like a weary land. Selah

⁷Answer me quickly, LORD, my spirit fails; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will be the same as those who go down to the pit.

⁸Let me hear Your faithfulness in the morning, For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.

⁹Save me, LORD, from my enemies; I take refuge in You.

¹⁰Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

¹¹For the sake of Your name, LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

¹²And in Your faithfulness, destroy my enemies, And eliminate all those who attack my soul, For I am Your servant.

¹Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle;

²My faithfulness and my fortress, My stronghold and my savior, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.

³LORD, what is man, that You look after him? Or a son of man, that You think of him?

⁴Man is like the breath; His days are like a passing shadow.

⁵Bend down Your heavens, LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

⁶Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them.

⁷Reach out with Your hand from on high; Rescue me and save me from great waters, From the hand of foreigners

⁸Whose mouths speak deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

⁹God, I will sing a new song to You; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

¹⁰Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues His servant David from the evil sword.

¹¹Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
