1 Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for your favor. You are faithful and right. Come and help me.

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

2 Don't take me to court and judge me, because in your eyes no living person does what is right.

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

3 My enemies chase me. They crush me down to the ground. They make me live in darkness like those who 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 So I grow weak. Deep down inside me, I'm afraid.

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

5 I remember what happened long ago. I spend time thinking about all of your acts. I consider what your hands have done.

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

6 I spread out my hands to you in prayer. I'm thirsty for you, just as dry ground is thirsty for rain. "Selah"

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