Praise God!\par God did not turn away from me—\par he listened to my prayer.\par God showed his love to me!\par
Why? Because the Lord helps poor people who have troubles.\par The Lord is not ashamed of them.\par He doesn’t hate them.\par If people call to the Lord for help,\par he will not hide from them.\par
I was afraid, and I said,\par “I am in a place where God can’t see me.”\par But I prayed to you, God,\par and you heard my loud prayers for help.\par
Don’t push me away!\par And don’t take your Holy Spirit\par away from me!\par
God is wonderful in his temple.\par The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people.\par Praise God!\par
