But the Lord has been my strong place, my God, and the rock where I am safe.

I am nothing but skin and bones because of my loud cries.

I am like a pelican in the desert. I am like an owl of the waste places.

He fills my years with good things and I am made young again like the eagle.

I give them my love but they speak against me in return. But I am in prayer.

For I am in trouble and in need. And my heart is hurt within me.

I am passing like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

I believed when I said, "I am very troubled."

For sure I am Your servant, O Lord. I am Your servant, the son of the woman who served You. You have set me free from my chains.

I am a stranger on the earth. Do not hide Your Word from me.

I have remembered Your Law from a long time ago, O Lord, and I am comforted.

I am a friend to all who fear You and of those who keep Your Law.

I am Yours. Save me, for I have looked to Your Law.

I am in much suffering. O Lord, give me life again by Your Word.

My flesh shakes in fear of You, and I am afraid of how You may punish.

I am Your servant. Give me understanding so I may know Your Law.

I am not important and I am hated but I do not forget Your Law.

I am made happy by Your Word, like one who finds great riches.

I am for peace. But when I speak, they are for war.

If I could number them, there would be more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
