Pain and trouble have overcome me: but your teachings are my delight.
I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.
The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.
I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.
I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.
And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.
Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.
A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.
Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.
