Let me again experience the joy of your deliverance! Sustain me by giving me the desire to obey!

Reach down from above! Grab me and rescue me from the surging water, from the power of foreigners,

Relent, Lord, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

I was innocent before him, and kept myself from sinning.

Deliver me from my distress; rescue me from my suffering!

Deliver me from all my sins of rebellion! Do not make me the object of fools’ insults!

Hold them accountable for all their sins! Do not vindicate them!

Rescue the poor and needy! Deliver them from the power of the wicked!

O Lord, please accept the freewill offerings of my praise! Teach me your regulations!

Deliver me from oppressive men, so that I can keep your precepts.

The Lord is just; he cut the ropes of the wicked.”

If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O Lord, who could stand before you?

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape.

A prayer of David. Lord, consider my just cause! Pay attention to my cry for help! Listen to the prayer I sincerely offer!

Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant sins; do not allow such sins to control me. Then I will be blameless, and innocent of blatant rebellion.

He says to himself, “I will never be upended, because I experience no calamity.”

He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hate me, for they were too strong for me.

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

Rescue me from the mouth of the lion, and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered me!

No king is delivered by his vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great might.
