Prayer for Deliverance and Guidance.

A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my prayer, O LORD,
          Give ear to my supplications!
          Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!

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

3 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.

4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
          My heart is appalled within me.

5 I remember the days of old;
          I meditate on all Your doings;
          I muse on the work of Your hands.

6 I stretch out my hands to You;
          My soul longs for You, as a parched land.


7 Answer me quickly, O LORD, my spirit fails;
          Do not hide Your face from me,
          Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.

8 Let me hear Your lovingkindness 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.

9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies;
          I take refuge in You.

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

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

12 And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies
          And destroy all those who afflict my soul,
          For I am Your servant.
