“Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer, answer me, for I need Your help. Protect me, for I am devoted to You. Save me, for I serve You and trust You. You are my God. Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am calling on You constantly. Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to You. O Lord, You are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for Your help. Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord; hear my urgent cry. I will call on You whenever I am in trouble, and You will answer me.” (vv. 1-7) NLT
“Teach me Your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to Your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor You. With all my heart I will praise You, O Lord, my God. I will give glory to Your name forever, for Your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.” (vv. 11-13) NLT
“But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. Look down and have mercy on me. Give Your strength to Your servant; save me, the son of Your servant. Send me a sign of Your favor. Then those who hate me will be put to shame, for You, O Lord, help and comfort me.” (vv 15-17) NLT
