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

See how I love your precepts! O Lord, revive me with your loyal love!

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried out to the Lord and he answered me.

I said, “O Lord, rescue me from those who lie with their lips and those who deceive with their tongue.
