Since I am afflictedand needy,Let the Lordbe mindfulof me. You are my helpand my deliverer;Do not delay,O my God.
For I am afflictedand needy,And my heartis woundedwithinme.
I soughtthe LORD,and He answeredme, And deliveredme from allmy fears.

Let them shoutfor joyand rejoice,whofavormy vindication;And let them saycontinually,"The LORDbe magnified,Whodelightsin the prosperityof His servant."
Many,O LORDmy God,are the wonderswhich You have done,And Your thoughtstowardus; Thereis noneto comparewith You. If I would declareand speakof them, They would be toonumerousto count.
Behold,Godis my helper;The Lordis the sustainerof my soul.

But I am afflictedand needy;Hastento me, O God!You are my helpand my deliverer;O LORD,do not delay.

castingallyour anxietyon Him, becauseHe caresfor you.
He who testifiesto these thingssays,"Yes,I am comingquickly."Amen.Come,LordJesus.
