To you, O Lord, I cried out; I begged the Lord for mercy: ¹ 

Then I will teach ¹  rebels your merciful ways, ²  and sinners will turn ³  to you.

You are my source of strength! I will wait for you! ¹  For God is my refuge. ² 

Have mercy on me, ¹  O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long!

Make your servant ¹  glad, for to you, O Lord, I pray! ² 

As for me, I cry out to you, O Lord; in the morning my prayer confronts you.

Though a thousand may fall beside you, and a multitude on your right side, it ¹  will not reach you.

No harm will overtake ¹  you; no illness ²  will come near your home. ³ 

A song of ascents. ²  I look up ³  toward you, the one enthroned ⁴  in heaven.

I spread my hands out to you in prayer; ¹  my soul thirsts for you in a parched ²  land. ³ 

Bring us back to yourself, O Lord, so that we may return ¹  to you; renew our life ²  as in days before, ³ 

An end comes ¹  – the end comes! ²  It has awakened against you ³  – the end is upon you! Look, it is coming! ⁴ 

On that day a fugitive will come to you to report the news. ¹ 

The officials may hear that I have talked with you. They may come to you and say, ‘Tell us what you said to the king and what the king said to you. ¹  Do not hide anything from us. If you do, we will kill you.’ ² 

Is anything impossible ¹  for the Lord? I will return to you when the season comes round again and Sarah will have a son.” ² 

The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; ¹  settle down in the land that I will point out to you. ² 

Animals torn by wild beasts I never brought to you; I always absorbed the loss myself. ¹  You always made me pay for every missing animal, ²  whether it was taken by day or at night.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.

He said ¹  to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you, along with your wife and her two sons with her.”

When ¹  they blow ²  them both, all the community must come ³  to you to the entrance of the tent of meeting.
