Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.
In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from your sight!” Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help.
