Дуулал
A melody of David.
143 O Jehovah, hear my prayer;
Listen to my plea for help.
In your faithfulness and in your righteousness, answer me.
2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant,
For no one living can be righteous before you.
3 For the enemy pursues me;*
He has crushed my life into the ground.
He has caused me to dwell in darkness like those long dead.
4 My spirit* is failing;
My heart is numb within me.
5 I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all your activity;
I eagerly ponder over* the work of your hands.
6 I spread out my hands to you;
I am* like a parched land that thirsts for you. (Selah)
7 Do answer me quickly, O Jehovah;
My strength* has come to an end.
Do not hide your face from me,
Or I will be like those going down into the pit.*
8 Let me hear your loyal love in the morning,
For I trust in you.
Make known to me the way I should walk,
For to you I turn.*
9 Rescue me from my enemies, O Jehovah.
I seek your protection.
10 Teach me to do your will,
For you are my God.
Your spirit is good;
May it lead me on level ground.*
11 For the sake of your name, O Jehovah, preserve me alive.
In your righteousness, rescue me* from distress.
