Nevertheless I am continually with thee; thou dost hold my right hand.

Thou dost hold my eyelids from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

A Prayer of David. Incline thy ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my life, for I am godly; save thy servant who trusts in thee. Thou art my God;

I am reckoned among those who go down to the Pit; I am a man who has no strength,

Thou hast caused my companions to shun me; thou hast made me a thing of horror to them. I am shut in so that I cannot escape;

Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer thy terrors; I am helpless.

I am like a vulture of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;

I lie awake, I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.

For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me.

I am gone, like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust.

I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads.

I kept my faith, even when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";

O LORD, I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast loosed my bonds.

I am a sojourner on earth; hide not thy commandments from me!

I am a companion of all who fear thee, of those who keep thy precepts.

I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

I am sorely afflicted; give me life, O LORD, according to thy word!

My flesh trembles for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments.
