1. Listen, Lord, as I pray!You are faithful and honestand will answer my prayer.
2. I am your servant.Don't try me in your court,because no one is innocentby your standards.
3. My enemies are chasing me,crushing me in the ground.I am in total darkness,like someone long dead.
4. I have given up all hope,and I feel numb all over.
5. I remember to think aboutthe many things you didin years gone by.
6. Then I lift my hands in prayer,because my soul is a desert,thirsty for water from you.
7. Please hurry, Lord,and answer my prayer.I feel hopeless.Don't turn awayand leave me here to die.
8. Each morning let me learnmore about your lovebecause I trust you.I come to you in prayer,asking for your guidance.
9. Please rescue mefrom my enemies, Lord!I come to you for safety.
10. You are my God. Show mewhat you want me to do,and let your gentle Spiritlead me in the right path.
11. Be true to your name, Lord,and keep my life safe.Use your saving powerto protect me from trouble.
12. I am your servant.Show how much you love meby destroying my enemies.
