⁴ I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)

⁴ I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.

¹⁵ When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

⁶ But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

²⁴ And before they make their request I will give an answer, and while they are still making prayer to me, I will give ear.

¹³ For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.

¹⁴ This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.

⁹ Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

³ O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

⁶ This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

¹³ Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.

⁷ Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

¹² And you will go on crying to me and making prayer to me, and I will give ear to you.

¹³ And you will be searching for me and I will be there, when you have gone after me with all your heart.

³ When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.

¹ <A Song of the going up.> Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

² Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

¹ I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

² He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

³ The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.

³ Have mercy on me, O Lord; for my cry goes up to you all the day.

⁴ Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord.

¹⁷ My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

¹⁸ I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

¹⁹ But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

¹⁵ Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.

² O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

³ But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.

⁴ Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

⁵ They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.

¹ <Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock.> The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.

² I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.

³ When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.
