Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.
