Turn to us, Almighty God! Look down from heaven at us; come and save your people!

How much longer will your anger last? Have pity, O LORD, on your servants!

You, like your ancestors before you, have turned away from my laws and have not kept them. Turn back to me, and I will turn to you. But you ask, 'What must we do to turn back to you?'

Come, LORD! Oppose my enemies and defeat them! Save me from the wicked by your sword;

Save me from the sword; save my life from these dogs.

How great is your constant love for me! You have saved me from the grave itself.

Then I called to the LORD, "I beg you, LORD, save me!"

The LORD saved me from death; he stopped my tears and kept me from defeat.

Save me, LORD, from liars and deceivers.

The LORD will protect you from all danger; he will keep you safe.

My bitterness will turn into peace. You save my life from all danger; You forgive all my sins.

Forgive the sins and errors of my youth. In your constant love and goodness, remember me, LORD!

But as for me, I will pray to you, LORD; answer me, God, at a time you choose. Answer me because of your great love, because you keep your promise to save.

Do not punish us for the sins of our ancestors. Have mercy on us now; we have lost all hope.

Help us, O God, and save us; rescue us and forgive our sins for the sake of your own honor.

Listen to us, O God; look at us and see the trouble we are in and the suffering of the city that bears your name. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done right.

Let us praise God for his glorious grace, for the free gift he gave us in his dear Son!

He did this to demonstrate for all time to come the extraordinary greatness of his grace in the love he showed us in Christ Jesus.

For it is by God's grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God's gift, so that no one can boast about it.
