Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the snares of those who do wrong.

I cry out with my voice to the LORD; With my voice I implore the LORD for compassion.

When my spirit felt weak within me, You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me.

Look to the right and see; For there is no one who regards me favorably; There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul.

"Give Your attention to my cry, For I have been brought very low; Rescue me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me.

"Bring my soul out of prison, So that I may give thanks to Your name; The righteous will surround me, For You will look after me."

And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For no person living is righteous in Your sight.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, like a weary land. Selah

Let me hear Your faithfulness in the morning, For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.

Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

For the sake of Your name, LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

And in Your faithfulness, destroy my enemies, And eliminate all those who attack my soul, For I am Your servant.

Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle;

When our sons in their youth are like growing plants, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace,

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry for help and save them.

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

Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is beautiful.

It is He who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass sprout on the mountains.

The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His faithfulness.
