But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord , at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with Your saving truth.

Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick. And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found none.

But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high.

But I am afflicted and needy; Hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord , do not delay.

But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.

But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, My steps had almost slipped.

Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works.

But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

We will not conceal them from their children, But tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord , And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.

That they should put their confidence in God And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments,

But they deceived Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.

But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger And did not arouse all His wrath.

Thus He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.

He leveled a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, But gave over their life to the plague,

But He led forth His own people like sheep And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

He led them safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea engulfed their enemies.
