Be merciful, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly.
4
Give me happiness, O Lord, for my life depends on you.

O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask your aid.
6

7
I will call to you whenever trouble strikes, and you will answer me.

16
Look down and have mercy on me. Give strength to your servant; yes, save me, for I am your servant.
17
Send me a sign of your favor. Then those who hate me will be put to shame, for you, O LORD, help and comfort me.
