- 1I am a poor, helpless man. LORD, please listen to me and answer my prayer!
- 2I am your follower, so please protect me. I am your servant, and you are my God. I trust in you, so save me.
- 3My Lord, be kind to me. I have been praying to you all day.
- 4My Lord, I put my life in your hands. I am your servant, so make me happy.
- 5My Lord, you are good and merciful. You love all those who call to you for help.
- 6LORD, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for mercy.
- 7I am praying to you in my time of trouble. I know you will answer me.
- 8My Lord, there is no God like you. No one can do what you have done.
- 9My Lord, you made everyone. I wish they all would come worship you and honor your name.
- 10You are great and do amazing things. You and you alone are God.
- 11LORD, teach me your ways, and I will live and obey your truths. Help me make worshiping your name the most important thing in my life.
- 12My Lord God, I praise you with all my heart. I will honor your name forever!

- 14Proud people are attacking me, God. A gang of cruel men is trying to kill me. They don’t respect you.
- 15My Lord, you are a kind and merciful God. You are patient, loyal, and full of love.
