I am in terrible pain! Save me, Lord , as you said you would.

All of you worthless people, get away from me! I am determined to obey the commands of my God.

I am in deep distress, but I love your teachings.

I have not forgotten your Law! Look at the trouble I am in, and rescue me.

I am waiting for you to save me, Lord . Your Law makes me happy.

I am your servant, but I have wandered away like a lost sheep. Please come after me, because I have not forgotten your teachings.

(A song for worship.) When I am in trouble, I pray,

I am in favor of peace, but when I speak of it, all they want is war.

With all my heart, I am waiting, Lord , for you! I trust your promises.

(A song by David for worship.) I am not conceited, Lord , and I don't waste my time on impossible schemes.

I am surrounded by trouble, but you protect me against my angry enemies. With your own powerful arm you keep me safe.

You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts.

Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking.

I pray to you, Lord ! You are my place of safety, and you are my choice in the land of the living. Please answer my prayer. I am completely helpless.

I am your servant. Don't try me in your court, because no one is innocent by your standards.

My enemies are chasing me, crushing me in the ground. I am in total darkness, like someone long dead.

I am your servant. Show how much you love me by destroying my enemies.

You are my friend, and you are my fortress where I am safe. You are my shield, and you made me the ruler of our people.

Shout praises to the Lord ! With all that I am, I will shout his praises.

and now I am disgraced in front of everyone."
