Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.
So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry—now restore us!
Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did.
“Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary.
You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
