3. For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
4. Therefore my spirit faints within me;my heart within me is appalled.
5. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done;I ponder the work of your hands.
6. I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah
7. Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
8. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
9. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord!I have fled to you for refuge.
10. Teach me to do your will,for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead meon level ground!
11. For your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life!In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!
