Lord, hear me when I call; have mercy and answer me.
Lord, look at me. Answer me, my God; tell me, or I will die.
Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, because I pray to you.
Answer me when I pray to you, my God who does what is right. Make things easier for me when I am in trouble. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
I will say to God: Do not hold me guilty, but tell me what you have against me.
You changed my sorrow into dancing. You took away my clothes of sadness, and clothed me in happiness.
My life is ending in sadness, and my years are spent in crying. My troubles are using up my strength, and my bones are getting weaker.
