Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. | O Lord, hear my prayer, incline your ear to my supplications. In your faithfulness respond to me with your righteousness. |
I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. | I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah |

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. | At dawn let me experience your kindness, for in you I place my trust. Show me the path I must walk, for to you I lift up my soul. |
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. | Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your gracious Spirit lead me along a level path. |
I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever. | I will extol you, my God and King; I will bless your name forever and ever. |
Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness. | Great is the Lord and worthy of the highest praise; no one can even begin to comprehend his greatness. |
The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. | The Lord is righteous in all his ways and merciful in everything he does. |
The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. | The Lord is near to all who call out to him, to all who call out to him sincerely. |
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. | And opens the eyes of those who cannot see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous. |
The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked. | The Lord watches over the stranger and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he blocks the way of the wicked. |
He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. | He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. |
For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. | For the Lord takes delight in his people, and he crowns the humble with salvation. |
