1. Lord, hear my prayer;listen to my cry for mercy.Answer mebecause you are loyal and good.
2. Don’t judge me, your servant,because no one alive is right before you.
3. My enemies are chasing me;they crushed me to the ground.They made me live in darknesslike those long dead.
4. I am afraid;my courage is gone.
5. I remember what happened long ago;I consider everything you have done.I think about all you have made.
6. I lift my hands to you in prayer.As a dry land needs rain, I thirst for you.Selah
7. Lord, answer me quickly,because I am getting weak.Don’t turn away from me,or I will be like those who are dead.
8. Tell me in the morning about your love,because I trust you.Show me what I should do,because my prayers go up to you.
