I cried out to you, “Deliver me, so that I can keep your rules.”

A song of ascents. From the deep water I cry out to you, O Lord.

I call to you for you will answer me, O God. Listen to me! Hear what I say!

O Lord, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave!

My eyes grow weak because of oppression. I call out to you, O Lord, all day long; I spread out my hands in prayer to you.

A psalm of David. O Lord, I cry out to you. Come quickly to me! Pay attention to me when I cry out to you!
