Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.
1. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?
5. One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
6. To behold the fair beauty of the Lord; and to seek him in his temple.
Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.
7. For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe in his shelter; he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling, and set me high upon a rock.
8. Even now he lifts up my hand above my enemies round about me.
9. Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds of great gladness; I will sing and make music to the Lord.
Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.
11. You speak in my heart and say, "Seek my face," Your face, Lord, will I seek.
12. Hide not your face from me, nor turn away your servant in displeasure.
13. You have been my helper; cast me not away; do not forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.
14. Though my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord will sustain me.
15. Show me your way, O Lord, lead me on a level path, because of my enemies.
16. Deliver me not into the hand of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, and also those who speak malice.
Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.
17. What if i had not believed that I should see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!
18. O tarry and await the Lord's pleasure; be strong, and he shall comfort your heart; wait patiently for the Lord.
Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.
