Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me wherefore thou contendest with me.
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
