Psalms 141:1

Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.

if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

I cried to you, Yahweh. I made supplication to the Lord:

You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.

Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.

Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.

Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.

I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were staying in the innermost parts of the cave.

Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border! May your hand be with me, and may you keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” God granted him that which he requested.

Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.

so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help. Hurry to help me!

Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan

Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.

God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!

Hear my voice according to your loving kindness. Revive me, Yahweh, according to your ordinances.

Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man:

Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”
