Answer me Lord for I am wretched and needy; give heed now to my cry.
Guard the life of your servant and save me; Lord, I trust in you.
Lord, I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant,
For you are forgiving and good, and kind to all who call on you.

Answer my prayer, O Lord, and show me your favour; give heed now to my cry.
In my trouble I call to the Lord, for He will answer me.
There is none like you among all the gods: none can compare with your greatness O Lord.
You have made all nations; they shall worship you; they will glorify your name O Lord.

Teach me your way that I may walk in your truth, and I’ll rejoice in your ways.
I shall praise you with all of my heart and glorify your name.
For your steadfast love to me is great, O my God; you have saved me from the depths of the grave.
Yet evil men attack me O Lord; ruthless men now seek my life.

Great is your mercy, you are full of compassion, and abounding in love;
Slow to anger – the merciful God. Lord, grant me now your strength.
Save now your servant, Lord, and show me your goodness. Give me signs of your grace.
Let my foes be ashamed when they see your saving strength in me.
