God deserves praise, for he did not reject my prayer or abandon his love for me!
For he did not despise or detest the suffering of the oppressed; he did not ignore him; when he cried out to him, he responded.
I jumped to conclusions and said, “I am cut off from your presence!” But you heard my plea for mercy when I cried out to you for help.
Do not reject me! Do not take your Holy Spirit away from me!
You are awe-inspiring, O God, as you emerge from your holy temple! It is the God of Israel who gives the people power and strength. God deserves praise!
