By David. O Lord, I come before you in prayer.

O Lord my God, I cried out to you and you healed me.

When I am afraid, I trust in you.

All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis.

Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord! I run to you for protection.

To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.

To you, O Lord, I cried out; I begged the Lord for mercy:

Then I will teach rebels your merciful ways, and sinners will turn to you.

You are my source of strength! I will wait for you! For God is my refuge.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long!

Make your servant glad, for to you, O Lord, I pray!

As for me, I cry out to you, O Lord; in the morning my prayer confronts you.

Though a thousand may fall beside you, and a multitude on your right side, it will not reach you.

No harm will overtake you; no illness will come near your home.

A song of ascents. I look up toward you, the one enthroned in heaven.

I spread my hands out to you in prayer; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land.

Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I am praying to you!

Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple!

You are my source of strength! I will sing praises to you! For God is my refuge, the God who loves me.

From the most remote place on earth I call out to you in my despair. Lead me up to an inaccessible rocky summit!
