1 LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.

2 Do not take me to court for judgment, because there is no one alive who is righteous in your presence.

2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.

3 The enemy has pursued me. He has ground my life into the dirt. He has made me live in dark places like those who have died long ago.

3 The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.

4 That is why I begin to lose hope and my heart is in a state of shock.

4 So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.

5 I remember the days long ago. I reflect on all that you have done. I carefully consider what your hands have made.

5 I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.

6 I stretch out my hands to you in prayer. Like parched land, my soul thirsts for you. Selah

6 I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.
