I said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
The LORD is my portion. I promised to obey your words.
Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
I cried to you, LORD. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
But I trust in you, LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
Let a cry be heard from their houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me and hidden snares for my feet.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
