13 They will always be prosperous,and their children will possess the land.
14 The Lord is the friend of those who obey himand he affirms his covenant with them.
15 I look to the Lord for help at all times,and he rescues me from danger.
16 Turn to me, Lord, and be merciful to me,because I am lonely and weak.
17 Relieve me of my worriesand save me from all my troubles.
18 Consider my distress and sufferingand forgive all my sins.
19 See how many enemies I have;see how much they hate me.
