Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
(A)Lest I [a]be like those who [b]go down into the pit.
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness (B)in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
(C)Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For (D)I lift up my soul to You.

Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
[c]In You I take shelter.
10 (E)Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
(F)Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in (G)the land of uprightness.

11 (H)Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 In Your mercy (I)cut[d] off my enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
For I am Your servant.
