I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—

…the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.

I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.

I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.

Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!

They have seen Your procession, O God—the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.

But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.

Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.

Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.

Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.

For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,

You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.

So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.

When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight

When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.

In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.

I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah

You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.

I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning,

Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!

If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,

If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,

…how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!

Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
