Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.*
Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
