Lord , I am praying to you. Don't let me be disappointed. The wicked are the ones who should be disappointed. Let them go to the grave in silence.

I was afraid and said, "I am in a place where he cannot see me." But I prayed to you, and you heard my loud cries for help.

I was young, and now I am old, but I have never seen good people left with no one to help them; I have never seen their children begging for food.

My guilt is like a heavy burden. I am sinking beneath its weight.

I am bent and bowed down. I am depressed all day long.

I am burning with fever, and my whole body hurts.

My heart is pounding. My strength is gone, and I am going blind.

But I am like a deaf man and cannot hear. I am like someone who cannot speak.

I am like those who cannot hear what people are saying about them. I cannot answer to prove my enemies wrong.

I know I am guilty of doing wrong. I cannot forget my pain.

Lord, I told you about the evil I have done. I am sorry for my sin.

To the director, Jeduthun. A song of David. I said, "I will be careful about what I say. I will not let my tongue cause me to sin. I will keep my mouth closed when I am around wicked people."

Lord , hear my prayer! Listen to the words I cry to you. Look at my tears. I am only a traveler passing through this life with you. Like all my ancestors, I will live here only a short time.

Leave me alone and let me be happy before I am dead and gone.

So I said, "Here I am, ready to do what was written about me in the book.

My God, I am happy to do whatever you want. I never stop thinking about your teachings."

My Lord, I am only a poor, helpless man, but please pay attention to me. You are my helper, the one who can save me. My God, don't be too late.

Why am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I tell myself, "Wait for God's help! You will again be able to praise him, your God, the one who will save you." In my sadness I say, "I will remember you from here on this small hill, where Mount Hermon and the Jordan River meet." <
