For your name’s sake, Lord, give me life; in your righteousness lead my soul out of distress.
I am very much afflicted, Lord; give me life in accord with your word.
My soul clings to the dust; give me life in accord with your word.
Avert my eyes from what is worthless; by your way give me life.
See how I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life.
In your mercy give me life, to observe the testimonies of your mouth.
Though I walk in the midst of dangers, you guard my life when my enemies rage. You stretch out your hand; your right hand saves me.
A psalm of David. Lord, hear my prayer; in your faithfulness listen to my pleading; answer me in your righteousness.
For the sake of your name, Lord, pardon my guilt, though it is great.
Relieve the troubles of my heart; bring me out of my distress.
For the leader. A psalm of David.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.
In your justice rescue and deliver me; listen to me and save me!
Will you be angry with us forever, prolong your anger for all generations?
O Lord, I have heard your renown, and am in awe, O Lord, of your work. In the course of years revive it, in the course of years make yourself known; in your wrath remember compassion!
