A Psalm of David.
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications:
In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant;
For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul;
He hath smitten my life down to the ground:
He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
Therefore {Or, my spirit fainteth}is my spirit overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is desolate.
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all thy doings;
I muse on the work of thy hands.
I spread forth my hands unto thee:
My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. [Selah
Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth:
Hide not thy face from me,
Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning;
For in thee do I trust:
Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk;
For I lift up my soul unto thee.
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies:
{Hebrew: Unto thee have I hidden.}I flee unto thee to hide me.
Teach me to do thy will;
For thou art my God:
{Or, Let thy good Spirit lead me}Thy Spirit is good;
Lead me in {Or, a plain country}the land of uprightness.
Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake:
In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies,
And destroy all them that afflict my soul;
For I am thy servant.

For his anger is but for a moment; {Or, In his favor is life}His favor is for a life-time:Weeping {Hebrew: may come in to lodge at even.}may tarry for the night,But joy cometh in the morning.
Teach me to do thy will;For thou art my God: {Or, Let thy good Spirit lead me}Thy Spirit is good;Lead me in {Or, a plain country}the land of uprightness.
A Psalm of David.Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time;And in the night his song shall be with me,Even a prayer unto the God of my life.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of {Or, them that lie in wait for me}mine enemies;Make thy way {Or, level}straight before my face.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant;For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:God will help her, {Hebrew: at the dawn of morning.}and that right early.
Show me thy ways, O Jehovah;Teach me thy paths.
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
But I will sing of thy strength;Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning:For thou hast been my high tower,And a refuge in the day of my distress.
Guide me in thy truth, and teach me;For thou art the God of my salvation;For thee do I wait all the day.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but {That is, He who striveth with God, or, God striveth.}Israel: for thou hast {Or, had power with}striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah;And lead me in a plain path,Because of {Or, them that lie in wait for me}mine enemies.
And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law;Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
י YODH.Thy hands have made me and {Or, established}fashioned me:Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart,And lean not upon thine own understanding:
In all thy ways acknowledge him,And he will {Or, make straight (or, plain)}direct thy paths.
and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
