Bend an ear, God; answer me.I’m one miserable wretch!Keep me safe—haven’t I lived a good life?Help your servant—I’m depending on you!You’re my God; have mercy on me.I count on you from morning to night.Give your servant a happy life;I put myself in your hands!You’re well-known as good and forgiving,bighearted to all who ask for help.Pay attention, God, to my prayer;bend down and listen to my cry for help.Every time I’m in trouble I call on you,confident that you’ll answer.
