Turn your angry gaze away from me, so I can be happy before I pass away.

Turn toward me and extend mercy to me, as you typically do to your loyal followers.

I take note of the treacherous and despise them, because they do not keep your instructions.

I will favor the honest people of the land, and allow them to live with me. Those who walk in the way of integrity will attend me.

Though I have done nothing wrong, they are anxious to attack. Spring into action and help me! Take notice of me!

I gloat in triumph over those who tried to ambush me; I hear the defeated cries of the evil foes who attacked me.

I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads.

For innumerable dangers surround me. My sins overtake me so I am unable to see; they outnumber the hairs of my head so my strength fails me.

May he take notice of your offerings; may he accept your burnt sacrifice! (Selah)

Watch my enemies, for they outnumber me; they hate me and want to harm me.

But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying? You are my only hope!

Hide your face from my sins! Wipe away all my guilt!

Because you favor Zion, do what is good for her! Fortify the walls of Jerusalem!

O Lord who rules over all, how blessed are those who trust in you!

Indeed, your servants take delight in her stones, and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins.

Seek the Lord and the strength he gives! Seek his presence continually!

Smile on your servant! Teach me your statutes!

Lord, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer.

Rely on the Lord! Obey his commands! Then he will permit you to possess the land; you will see the demise of evil men.

For the music director; a psalm of David. How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me? How long will you pay no attention to me?
