Lord, I call to you for help. Listen to me as I pray. Please hurry and help me!
I am only a poor, helpless man. God, please hurry to me. You are my helper, the one who can save me. Lord, don’t be too late!
God, don’t leave me! My God, hurry and help me!
Hurry and answer me, Lord! I have lost my courage. Don’t turn away from me. Don’t let me die and become like the people lying in the grave.
Please, Lord, rescue me! Lord, hurry and help me!
Lord, don’t leave me! You are my strength—hurry and help me!
Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my call for help and answer my prayer. Show me how good and loyal you are.
Why don’t you just pardon me for doing wrong? Why don’t you just forgive me for my sins? Soon I will die and be in my grave. You will search for me, but I will be gone.”
I lift my hands and pray toward your Most Holy Place. Hear me when I call to you. Show mercy to me.
People are trying to kill me. Please disappoint them. Humiliate them! They want to hurt me. Make them run away in shame.
