Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice; and have mercy on me, and answer me.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; make me know why You contend with me.
Look! Answer me, O Jehovah my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have torn off my sackcloth, and have clothed me with gladness,
For my life is ending with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away.
To the Chief Musician, for stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness; You gave room to me in trouble; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to You I will pray.
