- Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
 - And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
 - Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
 - Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
 - Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

- Answer me, O LORD, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me.
 - Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
 - Come near and rescue me; redeem me because of my foes.
 - You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.
 - Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found none.
