Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
Consider and answer me, O LORD my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness:
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: For unto thee do I pray.
