- Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me.
- For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.
- Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.
- May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
- May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame.

- Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
- For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
- Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
- Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
- Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
