A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
2 And may not you go in judgment with servant your for not he is righteous before you any living [person].
Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.

6 I have spread out hands my to you throat my - like a land exhausted [is] to you (Selah)
I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
7 Hurry answer me - O Yahweh it is exhausted spirit my may not you hide face your from me and I will be equal with [those who] go down of [the] pit.
Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
