I cry out with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes.
With my whole heart have I sought You; let me not wander from Your commandments.
You shall seek Me and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all your heart.
I have sworn and I will confirm it, that I will keep Your righteous judgments.
Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to You.
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
So shall I keep Your law continually, forever and ever.
Make joyful the soul of Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift my soul.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrow. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord.
And she was bitter, and prayed to the Lord, and wept severely.
I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
I entreated Your favor with all my heart; be merciful to me according to Your word.
