8. My God, I want to do what you want.Your teachings are in my heart.”
9. I will tell about your goodness in the great meeting of your people.Lord, you know my lips are not silent.
10. I do not hide your goodness in my heart;I speak about your loyalty and salvation.I do not hide your love and truthfrom the people in the great meeting.
11. Lord, do not hold back your mercy from me;let your love and truth always protect me.
12. Troubles have surrounded me;there are too many to count.My sins have caught meso that I cannot see a way to escape.I have more sins than hairs on my head,and I have lost my courage.
13. Please, Lord, save me.Hurry, Lord, to help me.
14. People are trying to kill me.Shame them and disgrace them.People want to hurt me.Let them run away in disgrace.
15. People are making fun of me.Let them be shamed into silence.
16. But let those who follow yoube happy and glad.They love you for saving them.May they always say, “Praise the Lord!”
17. Lord, because I am poor and helpless,please remember me.You are my helper and savior.My God, do not wait.
