CLV(i)
1 {A Davidic Psalm{ O Yahweh, hear my prayer; Do give ear to my supplications; In Your faithfulness answer me, in Your righteousness."
2 O do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no living one at all can be righteous before You."
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the earth; He has made me sit in utter darkness like the eonian dead.
4 My spirit is drooping within me; In my midst my heart is dejected.
5 Yet I remember the days aforetime; I soliloquize upon all Your deeds; Upon the works of Your hands am I meditating.
6 I spread forth my hands to You; My soul looks to You like a fainting land. {Interlude{
7 Quickly answer me, O Yahweh; my spirit is exhausted; O do not conceal Your face from me, Or I would become comparable with descenders to the crypt."
8 Let me hear of Your benignity in each morning, For I trust in You; Let me know that way I should go, For I lift up my soul to You."
9 Rescue me from my enemies, O Yahweh; To You I look for cover."
10 Teach me to do what is acceptable to You, For You are my Elohim; May You guide me with Your good spirit in an upright land."
11 For Your Name's sake, O Yahweh, may You revive me; In Your righteousness, may You bring my soul forth from distress."
12 In Your benignity may You efface my enemies; And You will destroy all the foes of my soul, For I am Your servant."
