Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!
Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
For their rock is not as our Rock; our enemies are by themselves.
No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
he will dwell on the heights; his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks; his bread will be given him; his water will be sure.
Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge,
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.
But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.
Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge—
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
O God, the nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in distress; make haste to answer me.
On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!
Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be.”
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.
lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me.
