Give heed to me, O Lord; answer my prayer.
Do not hide from your servant now!
Quickly come to my aid.
See how my days rush by; vanish like smoke.
All my bones burn and waste away
life just withers like grass.

Yet you sit enthroned for evermore;
age to age your glorious name endures.
Show compassion, Lord, your steadfast love;
let all nations glorify your name.

Bring now your freedom, Lord, to all in chains –
those our greed may condemn to die;
let your justice prevail.
May we your servants here, live out your love;
share our blessings with those in need;
so your kingdom will come.

For you sit enthroned for evermore;
age to age your glorious name endures.
Show compassion, Lord, your steadfast love;
let all nations glorify your name.
