Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me! O Lord, be thou my helper!”
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my supplications! In thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness!
The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!
I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping.
