What language shall I borrow to
thank Thee, dearest friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity
without end?
O make me Thine forever, and should
I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never outlive my
love to Thee.
Be Thou my consolation, my shield
when I must die;
Remind me of Thy passion when my
last hour draws nigh.
Mine eyes shall then behold Thee,
upon Thy cross shall dwell,
My heart by faith enfolds Thee. Who
dieth thus dies well.

Save me, O God,
for the floodwaters are up
to my neck.
Deeper and deeper I sink
into the mire;
I can’t find a foothold.
I am in deep water,
and the floods overwhelm me.
|

|

I am exhausted from crying
for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes are swollen with
weeping,
waiting for my God to help
me.
Those who hate me without
cause
outnumber the hairs on my
head.
Many enemies try to destroy
me with lies,
demanding that I give back
what I didn’t steal.
O Lord, You know my folly
and my blundering;
my sins and guilt are not
hidden from You.
let not those who look to
You be ashamed because of
me,
O Sovereign LORD of Heaven’s
Armies.
Don’t let those who seek and
inquire for You
be brought to confusion and
dishonour as a result of me,
O God of Israel. |

For your sake I endure taunt
and reproach;
shame and humiliation are
written all over my face.
Even my own brothers pretend
they don’t know me,
and treat me like a
stranger.
Passion for your house has
consumed me,
and the insults of those who
insult you have fallen on
me. |

But I keep praying to you,
LORD,
In your unfailing love, O
God,
answer my prayer with your
sure salvation.
Rescue me from the mire;
don’t let me sink any
deeper!
Save me from those who hate
me,
and pull me from these deep
waters,
lest the floods overwhelm
me,
and the pit of death devours
me.
hear and answer me, O LORD,
for your unfailing love is
sweet and comforting.
Take care of me,
for your mercy is so
plentiful.
Don’t hide from your
servant;
answer me quickly, for I am
in deep trouble!
Come and redeem me;
free me from my enemies. |

Their insults have broken my
heart, and I am in despair.
Rescue me, O God, by your
saving power.
Then I will praise God’s
name with singing,
and magnify Him with
thanksgiving.
For this will please the
LORD more than sacrifice

The humble will see their
God at work and be glad.
Let all who seek God’s help
be encouraged.
For the LORD hears the cries
of the needy,
and does not despise his
imprisoned people.
Let heaven and earth praise
Him,
the seas and everything that
moves in them.
For God will rebuild Zion
and rebuild the cities of
Judah;
And His servants shall
remain and dwell there
and have it in possession.
The children of His servants
shall inherit it,
and those who love His name
shall dwell in it.
