With all my heart I try to serve you; keep me from disobeying your commandments.

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer!

In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge,

Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.

Make your servant glad, O Lord, because my prayers go up to you.

Listen to my prayer, O LORD, and hear my cry for help!

I call to the LORD for help; I plead with him.

I bring him all my complaints; I tell him all my troubles.

(SEE 1:9)

"No, I'm not drunk, sir," she answered. "I haven't been drinking! I am desperate, and I have been praying, pouring out my troubles to the LORD.

You will seek me, and you will find me because you will seek me with all your heart.

I will always obey your law, forever and ever.

I will keep my solemn promise to obey your just instructions.

Go away from me, you sinful people. I will obey the commands of my God.
