Remember, O LORD, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured,
"Greatly[1] have they afflicted me from my youth" -- let Israel now say --
In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me.
Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; look, and see our disgrace!
Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall!
O LORD, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD!
Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways!
Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side -- let Israel now say --
To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!"
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.
Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins.
