But I kept calling on the name of the Lord: “Please, Lord, rescue me!”
During times of trouble I called on the Lord. The Lord answered me ⌞and⌟ set me free ⌞from all of them⌟.
Rescue my soul from the sword, my life from vicious dogs.
“But the tax collector was standing at a distance. He wouldn’t even look up to heaven. Instead, he became very upset, and he said, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
Call on me in times of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.”
Here is a poor man who called out. The Lord heard him and saved him from all his troubles.
Relieve my troubled heart, and bring me out of my distress.
I called on the Lord in my distress. I cried to my God for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help reached his ears.
Come back, O Lord. Rescue me. Save me because of your mercy!
Jesus and his disciples had been invited too.
In death, no one remembers you. In the grave, who praises you?
