I serve you, Lord, and I am the child of one of your servants. Look on me with kindness. Make me strong and save me.

and pleased to be merciful. You will trample on our sins and throw them in the sea.

I am your servant, Lord God, and I beg you to answer my prayers and bring honor to yourself by having pity on your temple that lies in ruins.

I have given up hope, and I feel numb all over.

You, God, are angry with us! We are rejected and crushed. Make us strong again!

So I confessed my sins and told them all to you. I said, “I'll tell the Lord each one of my sins.” Then you forgave me and took away my guilt.

Please listen, Lord, and answer my prayer! I am poor and helpless.

I am poor and helpless, and I have lost all hope.

Think about me and be kind, just as you are to everyone who loves your name.
