Hear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
Guard my life, for I am devoted to you.
You are my God; save your servant
who trusts in you.
Have mercy on me, O Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
Bring joy to your servent,
for to you, O Lord,
I lift up my soul.
You are forgiving and good, O Lord,
abouding in love to all who call to
you.
Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my cry for mercy.
In the day of my trouble I will call to
you,
for you will answer me.

Among the gods there is none like
you, O Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you,
O Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
For you are great and do marvelous
deeds;
you alone are God.

Teach me your way, O Lord,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
I will praise you, O Lord my God, with
all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the
depths of grave.

The arrogant are attacking me, O God;
a band of ruthless men seeks my
life-
men without regard for you.
But you, O Lord, are compassionate
and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love
and faithfulness.
Turn to me and have mercy on me;
grant your strength to your servant
and save the son of your
maidservant.
Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be
put to shame,
for you, O Lord, have helped me and
comforted me.

…because love wins.
