Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me!
Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.
The Lord preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.
It is he who remembered us in our low estate, for his steadfast love endures forever;
Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
For behold, they lie in wait for my life; fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord,
But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.
He rescued me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;
After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!
For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
