The Lord has heard...

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak;
Lord, heal me, for my bones are racked.

My soul also shakes with terror;
how long, O Lord, how long?

Turn again, O Lord, and deliver my soul;
save me for your loving mercy's sake.

For in death no one remembers you;
and who can give you thanks in the grave?

I am weary with my groaning,
every night I drench my pillow and flood my bed with my tears.

My eyes are wasted with grief
and worn away because of all my enemies.

Depart from me, all you that do evil,
for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord has heard my supplication;
the Lord will receive my prayer.
