My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
Lest I be (become) like those who go down into the pit (die).

For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.

Lead me in the land of uprightness.

And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
For I am Your servant.
