Lord, remember David and all that he suffered.
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.
I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there?
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven.
What if the Lord had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:
Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!
Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.
How joyful are those who fear the Lord— all who follow his ways!
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me. Let all Israel repeat this:
From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help.
Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp.
Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins.
God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words.
Lord, remember what has happened to us. See how we have been disgraced!
