1 Lord, listen closely to me and answer me,because I am poor and in need.
2 Guard my life because I am faithful.Save your servant who trusts in you—you! My God!
3 Have mercy on me, Lord,because I cry out to you all day long.
4 Make your servant’s life happy againbecause, my Lord, I offer my life to you,
5 because, my Lord, you are good and forgiving,full of faithful love for all those who cry out to you.
6 Listen closely to my prayer, Lord;pay close attention to the sound of my requests for mercy.
7 Whenever I am in trouble, I cry out to you,because you will answer me.
