Hear me. O Lord, and respond to my prayer, guard well my life, for I love you: nothing compares with the wonders you do, for there is no god above you. Bring me your joy as I worship you, Lord, come to my heart, for I need you; teach me your way, let me walk in your truth - I cannot fail when I heed you. Give me a sign of your goodness, O Lord, grant me the strength that obeys you: you are compassion, abounding in love, you are my king, and I praise you.
