Out of the Depths (130)

Hear_, LORD, and / answer me,

for `I am / poor and needy.

Pre `serve my life, for / I am faithful.

`You, my God_, save your servant who_ / trusts in you.

Be `merciful to / me~, Lord,

`for I call to you_ / all day long.

Bring `joy_ to the soul_ / of your servant,

`for in you, Lord, do I / put my trust.

(Ref)

For `you_, Lord, are good, and ready / to forgive,

a `bundant in_ loving kindness to all those who / call on you.

`LORD_, / hear my prayer.

`Listen to the voice of / my petitions.

`In the day_ of my trouble I will / call on you,

for `you will / answer me.

`There is no one like_ you among the / gods~, Lord,

nor `any deeds_ / like your deeds.

All `nations you have made will come and wor_ ship be / fore you, Lord.

`They shall glori / fy your name.

For `you are great_, and do / wondrous things.

`You are / God alone.

(Ref)

`Teach_ me your way, LORD. I will walk_ / in your truth.

`Make my heart_ undivided to_ / fear your name.

`I will praise you, Lord my God_, with my / whole~ heart.

`I will glorify your name for / ever more.

`For your loving kind_ ness is / great toward me.

`You_ have delivered me_ from the / depths of Sheol.

O `God, the proud have risen / up against me.

A `band of vi’lent men_ / seek my life. • `They have no re / gard for you.

But `you, Lord, are a merciful and / gracious God,

`slow to anger, and abundant in_ loving kindness and_ / faithfulness.

`Turn to me_, and have mercy / on~ me!

`Give your strength_ / to your servant. • • `Save the son of / your maidservant.

(Ref)

`Show_ me a sign_ / of your goodness,

that `those who hate me may_ see it, and be / put to shame,

be `cause you, LORD, have / helped~ me, 

and `comfor / ted~ me.
