18:4 The waves of death engulfed me,
the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.
18:5 The ropes of Sheol tightened around me,
the snares of death trapped me.
18:18 They confronted me in my day of calamity,
but the Lord helped me.
18:33 He gives me the agility of a deer;
he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.
18:39 You give me strength for battle;
you make my foes kneel before me.
18:44 When they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.
Foreigners are powerless before me;
18:47 The one true God completely vindicates me;
he makes nations submit to me.
22:6 But I am a worm, not a man;
people insult me and despise me.
22:12 Many bulls surround me;
powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in.
23:2 He takes me to lush pastures,
he leads me to refreshing water.
25:4 Make me understand your ways, O Lord!
Teach me your paths!
25:16 Turn toward me and have mercy on me,
for I am alone and oppressed!
26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and test me!
Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives!
26:9 Do not sweep me away with sinners,
or execute me along with violent people,
26:11 But I have integrity!
Rescue me and have mercy on me!
27:10 Even if my father and mother abandoned me,
the Lord would take me in.
30:10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me!
O Lord, deliver me!”
By David.
35:1 O Lord, fight those who fight with me!
Attack those who attack me!
35:16 When I tripped, they taunted me relentlessly,
and tried to bite me.
35:24 Vindicate me by your justice, O Lord my God!
Do not let them gloat over me!
36:11 Do not let arrogant men overtake me,
or let evil men make me homeless!
38:2 For your arrows pierce me,
and your hand presses me down.
38:21 Do not abandon me, O Lord!
My God, do not remain far away from me!
39:10 Please stop wounding me!
You have almost beaten me to death!
40:13 Please be willing, O Lord, to rescue me!
O Lord, hurry and help me!
51:10 Create for me a pure heart, O God!
Renew a resolute spirit within me!
51:11 Do not reject me!
Do not take your Holy Spirit away from me!
55:4 My heart beats violently within me;
the horrors of death overcome me.
55:16 As for me, I will call out to God,
and the Lord will deliver me.
60:9 Who will lead me into the fortified city?
Who will bring me to Edom?
62:7 God delivers me and exalts me;
God is my strong protector and my shelter.
69:12 Those who sit at the city gate gossip about me;
drunkards mock me in their songs.
71:9 Do not reject me in my old age!
When my strength fails, do not abandon me!
71:12 O God, do not remain far away from me!
My God, hurry and help me!
71:21 Raise me to a position of great honor!
Turn and comfort me!
73:2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped;
my feet almost slid out from under me.
77:7 I asked, “Will the Lord reject me forever?
Will he never again show me his favor?
81:11 But my people did not obey me;
Israel did not submit to me.
86:16 Turn toward me and have mercy on me!
Give your servant your strength!
Deliver your slave!
88:7 Your anger bears down on me,
and you overwhelm me with all your waves. (Selah)
88:14 O Lord, why do you reject me,
and pay no attention to me?
88:17 They surround me like water all day long;
they join forces and encircle me.
94:19 When worries threaten to overwhelm me,
your soothing touch makes me happy.
94:22 But the Lord will protect me,
and my God will shelter me.
102:10 because of your anger and raging fury.
Indeed, you pick me up and throw me away.
108:10 Who will lead me into the fortified city?
Who will bring me to Edom?
109:2 For they say cruel and deceptive things to me;
they lie to me.
109:3 They surround me and say hateful things;
they attack me for no reason.
118:14 The Lord gives me strength and protects me;
he has become my deliverer.”
118:18 The Lord severely punished me,
but he did not hand me over to death.
119:26 I told you about my ways and you answered me.
Teach me your statutes!
119:29 Remove me from the path of deceit!
Graciously give me your law!
119:50 This is what comforts me in my trouble,
for your promise revives me.
119:116 Sustain me as you promised, so that I will live.
Do not disappoint me!
119:132 Turn toward me and extend mercy to me,
as you typically do to your loyal followers.
119:149 Listen to me because of your loyal love!
O Lord, revive me, as you typically do!
129:2 “Since my youth they have often attacked me,
but they have not defeated me.
139:5 You squeeze me in from behind and in front;
you place your hand on me.
139:10 even there your hand would guide me,
your right hand would grab hold of me.
139:23 Examine me, and probe my thoughts!
Test me, and know my concerns!
