Psalm 27:7

New American Bible - revised edition

Hear my voice, Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.

See the chapter Copy

How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Give ear to my words, O Lord; understand my sighing.

For the leader; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

I will say to God: Do not put me in the wrong! Let me know why you oppose me.

Hear, O Lord, have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper.”

Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am in distress; affliction is wearing down my eyes, my throat and my insides.
