O Lord, listen to my prayer. Open your ears to hear my urgent requests. Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
Rescue me and free me because of your righteousness. Turn your ear toward me, and save me.
I said to the Lord, “You are my God.” O Lord, open your ears to hear my plea for pity.
I have taken refuge in you, O Lord. Never let me be put to shame. Save me because of your righteousness.
God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we’ve done wrong.
Lord, since you are very righteous, turn your anger and fury away from your city, Jerusalem, your holy mountain. Jerusalem and your people are insulted by everyone around us because of our sins and the wicked things our ancestors did.
“Now, Lord God, keep the promise you made to me and my house forever. Do as you promised.
Hear my plea for justice, O Lord. Pay attention to my cry. Open your ears to my prayer, ⌞which comes⌟ from lips free from deceit.
