Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, For you will be good to me.

Don't enter into judgment with your servant, For in your sight no man living is righteous.

For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning, For I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to you.

Teach me to do your will, For you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Revive me, Yahweh, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

In your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.

Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:

Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.

Praise Yah, For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

Who covers the sky with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass grow on the mountains.

He provides food for the cattle, And for the young ravens when they call.

For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.

He has not done this for any nation; They don't know his ordinances. Praise Yah!

Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For he commanded, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
