Hurry, answer me Lord!\par I have lost my courage.\par Don’t turn away from me.\par Don’t let me die and become like\par the dead people lying in the grave.\par
Lord, hear my prayer for fairness.\par I am calling loudly to you.\par And I am being honest in the things I say.\par So, please listen to my prayer.\par
Lord, you are my Rock, {\cf2\super [168]} \par I am calling to you for help.\par Don’t close your ears to my prayers.\par If you don’t answer my calls for help,\par then people will think I am no better\par than the dead people in the grave.\par
Shepherd of Israel, please listen to me.\par You lead Joseph’s sheep (people).\par You sit as king on the Cherub angels. {\cf2\super [459]} \par Let us see you.\par
The Lord sees the good people,\par and the Lord listens to their prayers.\par But the Lord is against those people\par that do evil.”\par \i (Psalm 34:12-16)\i0 \par
