1. Listen to me, God, answer me, for I am destitute in every way.

2. Guard me, for I am faithful; save my soul; you are my hope, come save me!

3. I am crying to you without ceasing; have mercy on me, God.

4. Give joy and peace to my soul, for I am stretching out my heart toward you.

5. O God, you are kind and forgiving, rich in faithful love for all who call upon you.
