Psalm 25:16

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

I am hurt and lonely. Turn to me, and show me mercy.

See the chapter Copy

Show that you hear me and be kind to me. I am your servant, so give me strength. I am your slave, as my mother was, so save me!

He will come back and comfort us again. He will throw all our sins into the deep sea.

“Now, our God, hear your servant’s prayer. Listen to my prayer for mercy. For your own sake, do good things for your holy place.

I am ready to give up. I am losing my courage.

God, you were angry with us. You rejected us and destroyed our defenses. Please make us strong again.

But then I decided to confess my sins to the Lord. I stopped hiding my guilt and told you about my sins. And you forgave them all! Selah

I am a poor, helpless man. Lord, please listen to me and answer my prayer!

I am only a poor, helpless man. I am so sad; my heart is broken.

Look at me, and be kind to me, just as you always are to those who love your name.
