Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
