Outputting to a text file in lisp

I am new to LISP, and I am having trouble in writing a text file. I have read through the cookbook and other tutorials, as well as the following examples here, but I keep getting the same error: 

"Incorrect keyword arguments in (:DIRECTION
                                :OUTPUT
                                :IF-EXSISTS
                                :SUPERCEDE
                                :IF-DOES-NOT-EXSIST
                                :CREATE) .
   [Condition of type CCL::SIMPLE-PROGRAM-ERROR]"

my code is as follows:

(defun writeTest()
       (with-open-file (str "numbers.txt"
       :direction :output 
       :if-exsists :supercede 
       :if-does-not-exsist :create)

       (format str "printing to a file")))

Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

Wrong spelling: "exsists" --> "exists".
