1. Hear, Lord, and answer me,for I am poor and needy.
2. Preserve my soul, for I am godly.You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3. Be merciful to me, Lord,for I call to you all day long.
4. Bring joy to the soul of your servant,for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5. For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive;abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6. Hear, Lord, my prayer.Listen to the voice of my petitions.
