Inspire my words, O Lord, understand my calling. Hear the voice of my prayer, my King and my God, as I will pray to You, O Lord. Tomorrow hear my voice, tomorrow I will appear to You, and you will see me. (Ps. 5:2-4)
Chorus: Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Lord, do not reprove me with Your wrath; do not punish me with Your wrath. Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for my bones are crushed. And my soul was greatly troubled; and You, Lord, how long? Turn, O Lord, deliver my soul; save me for the sake of Thy mercy. For there is nothing to remember You in death; in hell, who will confess to You? (Ps. 6:2-6.)
Arise, O Lord, my God, let Thy hand be exalted; do not forget Thy needy to the end (Ps. 9:33.)
You, Lord, have preserved us and kept us from this generation and forever (Ps. 11:8).
Look, hear me, O Lord my God, enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep into death, lest my enemy say: Be strong against him. Those who are cold will rejoice as long as I move. I have trusted in Your mercy. My heart will rejoice in Your salvation; I will sing to the Lord, who has done good to me, and I will sing to the name of the Lord Most High (Ps. 12:4-7).
Make my steps in Your paths, so that my steps may not move (Ps. 16:5).
Surprise Your mercy, save those who trust in You from those who resist Your right hand. Save me, O Lord, like the apple of your eye, covering me in the shelter of Your wing, from the face of the wicked, who have made me angry. Defeat my soul; you have shut up your fat, your lips have spoken pride. Those who cast me out have now passed me by, casting their eyes upon the earth. Having embraced me, like a lion ready to catch, and like a skinman, dwell in the secret. Arise, O Lord, before me, and stifle them, deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy weapon from the enemy of Thy hand (Ps. 16:7-13).
Who understands the Fall? Cleanse me from my secrets, and spare your servant from strangers (Ps. 18:13).
You live in the Holy Place, praise of Israel. Our fathers trusted in You, you trusted and I delivered. I cried out to You, and was saved; I trusted in You, and was not ashamed (Ps. 21:4-6).
Do not depart from me, for sorrow is near, for you cannot help me (Ps. 21:12).
Lord, do not remove Your help from me, attend to my intercession. Deliver my soul from the weapon, and my only begotten from the hand of the dog. Save me from the mouth of Lions and from the horn of the unicorn my humility (Ps. 21:20-22).
Remember Your mercies, O Lord, and Your mercies, as they have been since the ages. Do not remember the sin of my youth and my ignorance; according to Your mercy, remember me, for the sake of Your goodness, O Lord (Ps. 24:6-7).
The sorrows of my heart have increased, deliver me from my needs. See my humility and my work, and forgive all my sins. See how my enemies have multiplied (Ps. 24:17-19).
Preserve my soul and deliver me, that I may not be put to shame, for I trusted in Thee (Ps. 24:20).
Hear, O Lord, my voice to which I cried: have mercy on me and hear me. My heart says to you: I will seek the Lord. I will seek Your face, O Lord, I will seek Your face. Turn not Thy face away from me, and do not turn aside in anger from Thy servant; Be my helper, do not reject me, and do not forsake me, O God, my Savior. For my father and mother have abandoned me, but the Lord will receive me. Give me the law, O Lord, in Thy way, and guide me on the right path for my enemy’s sake. Do not betray me into the souls of those who are afflicted by me: for I have risen up as a witness of unrighteousness, and have lied untruthfully to myself. I believe in seeing the good of the Lord on the land of the living. Be patient with the Lord, be of good courage, and let your heart be strong, and be patient with the Lord (Ps. 27:7-14).
In Thee, O Lord, have I trusted, that I may never be ashamed: by Thy righteousness deliver me and save me. Incline Your ear to me, hasten to take me away: make me God the Protector and the house of refuge to save me. For Thou art my power and my refuge, and for Thy name’s sake instruct me and nourish me. Deliver me from this snare, which you have hidden from me: for You are my Protector, O Lord. In Thy hand I will offer my spirit: Thou hast delivered me, O Lord God of truth. You hated those who kept vanities in vain; I have trusted in the Lord. I will rejoice and be glad in Your mercy, for You have looked upon my humility, and You have saved my soul from need (Ps. 30:1-8).
To You, O Lord, I will cry, O my God, that you may not keep silent from me, lest you keep silent from me, and I may become like those who go down into the pit. Hear, O Lord, the voice of my prayer, always pray to You, always lift up my hands to Your holy church. Do not bring me with sinners, and do not destroy me with those who do injustice, who speak peace with their neighbors, but have evil in their hearts (Ps. 27:1-3).
Make Thy face shine upon Thy servant, save me by Thy mercy. Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I called Thee (Ps. 30:17-18).
You are my refuge from sorrow, holding me: my joy, deliver me from those who have passed around me (Ps. 31:7).
For my iniquities have exceeded my head, for a heavy burden has weighed down upon me.
My wounds have grown stale and rotten because of my madness. I suffered and suffered to the end, walking around mourning all day (Ps. 37:5-7).
Lord, all my desire is before You, and my sighing is not hidden from You. My heart is troubled, my strength has left me, and the light of my eyes, and that one is not with me (Ps. 37:10-11).
Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation (Ps. 37:22).
The evil one has taken possession of me, which has no number, my iniquities have befallen me, and I have not been able to see, multiplying more than the hair of my head, and forsake my heart. Deign, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, come to my aid. Let those who seek to take my soul be ashamed and put to shame, and let those who wish me evil turn back and be ashamed. May those who say: better, better, accept their bitterness. Let all who seek You, O Lord, rejoice and rejoice in You, and let them say: May the Lord be magnified in those who love Your salvation. But I am poor and wretched, the Lord will take care of me. Thou art my Helper and my Protector, O my God, do not become stubborn (Ps. 39:13-18).
Hear us, O God, our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of those who are in the sea far off (Ps. 64:6).
God, be gracious to us and bless us, make Your face shine upon us and have mercy on us (Ps. 67:2).
Save me, O God, as water came down to my soul. The coal-miner is in the darkness of depth, and there is no constancy. I sank into the depths of the sea, and the storm drowned me (Ps. 69:2-3).
Hear me, Lord, for Thy mercy is good: according to the multitude of Thy mercies, look upon me. Do not turn Your face away from Your servant, for I am grieving; hear me soon. Take in my soul and deliver it (Ps. 69:17-19).
Do not reject me in my old age; when my strength fails, do not forsake me. As if they had decided to defeat me, and those who were seeking my soul conferred together, saying: God has left him to eat, marry and have him, for there is no deliverance. My God, do not depart from me, my God, come to my help. Let those who slander my soul be ashamed and disappear, and let those who seek evil against me be clothed with shame and shame (Ps. 70:9-13).
What is there in heaven? And what did You want on earth? My heart and my flesh are gone, O God of my heart, and my portion, O God, forever (Ps. 73:25-26).
May the humble and disgraced, the poor and the wretched not return and praise Your name. Arise, O God, judge Thy right, remember Thy reproach, which has come from the fool all day long. Do not forget the voice of Your prayer book; the pride of those who hate You will go away (Ps. 73:21-23).
Do not remember our first iniquities: may Your mercies soon precede us, O Lord, as we are so poor. Help us, O God, our Savior, for glory for Thy name's sake, O Lord, deliver us, and cleanse our sins for Thy name's sake (Ps. 79:8-9).
Raise up Your power and come to save us. God, turn us and make Your face shine, and we will be saved (Ps. 79:3-4).
Thou hast favored, O Lord, Thy land, Thou hast returned the captivity of Jacob, Thou hast forsaken the iniquities of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sins. Thou hast tamed all Thy wrath, Thou hast returned from the wrath of Thy wrath. Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and turn away Your wrath from us. Food forever are you angry with us? Or will You sweep away Your wrath from generation to generation? God, You, turn, revive us, and Your people will rejoice in You. Show us, O Lord, Thy mercy, and grant us Thy salvation. I will hear what the Lord God says about me: as He speaks peace to His people and to His saints, and to those who turn their hearts to Him (Ps. 85:2-9).
