Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am alone and oppressed!
For I am oppressed and needy, and my heart beats violently within me.
Turn toward me and extend mercy to me, as you typically do to your loyal followers.
My strength leaves me; I am absolutely shocked.
Then I confessed my sin; I no longer covered up my wrongdoing. I said, “I will confess my rebellious acts to the Lord.” And then you forgave my sins. (Selah)
O God, you have rejected us. You suddenly turned on us in your anger. Please restore us!
Listen O Lord! Answer me! For I am oppressed and needy.
Turn toward me and have mercy on me! Give your servant your strength! Deliver your slave!
“So now, our God, accept the prayer and requests of your servant, and show favor to your devastated sanctuary for your own sake.
You will once again have mercy on us; you will conquer our evil deeds; you will hurl our sins into the depths of the sea.
