Grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.

Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.

Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

Thou hast made his brightness to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.

With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.

Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.

And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

Remove from me the way of falsehood; And grant me thy law graciously.

Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, lest they exalt themselves. Selah

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.

Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
