Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also on me, and answer me.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why you contend with me.
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to you will I pray.
