With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord! I will keep your statutes.
With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you!
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
I will keep your law continually, forever and ever,
Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord.
She was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.
I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me!
I entreat your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.
