I have suffered very much. Lord, keep me alive as you have promised.
I lie in the dust. I’m about to die. Keep me alive as you have promised.
Keep me alive, because of your faithful love. Do this so that I may obey the covenant laws you have given.
Lord, bring yourself honor by keeping me alive. Because you do what is right, get me out of trouble.
The person who does what is right may have many troubles. But the Lord saves him from all of them.
Lord, don’t correct me when you are angry. Don’t punish me when you are very angry.
