## 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.
