New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95
New International Version NIV
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD , Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
1
LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous.
2
Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
3 For 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.
3
The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me.
4
So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands.
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; My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
6
I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.
