From a sea of troubles I cry out to you, Lord.
Your vicious waves have swept over me like an angry ocean or a roaring waterfall.
God had the power to save Jesus from death. And while Jesus was on earth, he begged God with loud crying and tears to save him. He truly worshiped God, and God listened to his prayers.
You made me suffer a lot, but you will bring me back from this deep pit and give me new life.
and pulled me from a lonely pit full of mud and mire. You let me stand on a rock with my feet firm,
You reached down from heaven, and you lifted me from deep in the ocean.
Since the time I was young, enemies have often attacked! Let everyone in Israel say:
The Lord will bless you if you respect him and obey his laws.
Without the help of the Lord it is useless to build a home or to guard a city.
It seemed like a dream when the Lord brought us back to the city of Zion.
Everyone who trusts the Lord is like Mount Zion that cannot be shaken and will stand forever.
The Lord was on our side! Let everyone in Israel say:
Our Lord and our God, I turn my eyes to you, on your throne in heaven.
It made me glad when they said, “Let's go to the house of the Lord!”
I look to the hills! Where will I find help?
