• My Soul Reaches for You

  • 1 O Yahweh, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
  • 2 And do not enter into judgment with Your slave, For no one living is righteous in Your sight.
  • 3 For the enemy has pursued my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me inhabit dark places, like those who have long been dead.
  • 4 Therefore my spirit was faint within me; My heart was appalled within me.
  • 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all You have done; I muse on the work of Your hands.
  • 6 I stretch out my hands to You; My soul reaches for You like a weary land. Selah.
  • 7 Answer me quickly, O Yahweh, my spirit wastes away; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
  • 8 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 to You I lift up my soul.
  • 9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Yahweh, I have concealed myself 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 Yahweh, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of distress.
  • 12 And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies And cause all those who assail my soul to perish, For I am Your slave.
