KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)


1  (A Psalm of David.) Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

2  And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

3  For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

4  Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

5  I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

6  I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

7  Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

8  Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

9  Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

10  Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

11  Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

12  And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

2  And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall no man liuing be iustified.

3  For the enemie hath persecuted my soule, he hath smitten my life downe to the ground: hee hath made mee to dwell in darkenesse, as those that haue bene long dead.

4  Therefore is my spirit ouerwhelmed within me: my heart within me is desolate.

5  I remember the dayes of old, I meditate on all thy workes: I muse on the worke of thy hands.

6  I stretch forth my hands vnto thee: my soule thirsteth after thee, as a thirstie land, Selah.

7  Heare me speedily, O Lord, my spirit faileth, hide not thy face from mee: lest I be like vnto them that goe downe into the pit.

8  Cause mee to heare thy louing kindnesse in the morning, for in thee doe I trust, cause mee to knowe the way wherein I should walke: for I lift vp my soule vnto thee.

9  Deliuer mee, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flie vnto thee to hide me.

10  Teach me to doe thy will, for thou art my God, thy spirit is good: leade me into the land of vprightnesse.

11  Quicken me, O Lord, for thy names sake: for thy righteousnesse sake bring my soule out of trouble.

12  And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soule: for I am thy seruant.
