Lord, I call upon You; hurry to me! Listen to my voice when I call to You!
“Why then do You not forgive my wrongdoing And take away my guilt? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will search for me, but I will no longer exist.”
Hear my prayer, Lord, Listen to my pleadings! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
¶Answer me quickly, Lord, my spirit fails; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will be the same as those who go down to the pit.
¶But You, Lord, do not be far away; You who are my help, hurry to my assistance.
Hear the sound of my pleadings when I cry to You for help, When I raise my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
¶Be pleased, Lord, to rescue me; Hurry, Lord, to help me.
May those who seek my life Be put to shame and humiliated; May those who delight in my harm Be turned back and dishonored.
But I am afflicted and needy; Hurry to me, God! You are my help and my savior; Lord, do not delay.
¶God, do not be far from me; My God, hurry to my aid!
