¹ I call upon you, O Lord; come quickly to me;
    give ear to my voice when I call to you.^(A)

⁵ But I am poor and needy;
    hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
    O Lord, do not delay!^(A)

¹ Hear my prayer, O Lord;
    give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
    answer me in your righteousness.^(A)

¹⁷ Do not hide your face from your servant,
    for I am in distress—make haste to answer me.^(A)
18 Draw near to me; redeem me;
    set me free because of my enemies.

²¹ Why do you not pardon my transgression
    and take away my iniquity?
For now I shall lie in the earth;
    you will seek me, but I shall not be.”^(A)
