1. A psalm of David.Lord, hear my prayer;in your faithfulness listen to my pleading;answer me in your righteousness.
2. Do not enter into judgment with your servant;before you no one can be just.
3. The enemy has pursued my soul;he has crushed my life to the ground.He has made me dwell in darknesslike those long dead.
4. My spirit is faint within me;my heart despairs.
5. I remember the days of old;I ponder all your deeds;the works of your hands I recall.
6. I stretch out my hands toward you,my soul to you like a parched land.Selah
