There are many who pray: "Give us more blessings, O LORD. Look on us with kindness!"

You were good to me, LORD; you protected me like a mountain fortress. But then you hid yourself from me, and I was afraid.

God, be merciful to us and bless us; look on us with kindness,

Bring us back, O God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!

Bring us back, Almighty God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!

Bring us back, LORD God Almighty. Show us your mercy, and we will be saved.

May the LORD be kind and gracious to you;

May the LORD look on you with favor and give you peace.

O God, hear my prayer and pleading. Restore your Temple, which has been destroyed; restore it so that everyone will know that you are God.

Come and save me, LORD; in your mercy rescue me from death.

Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins!

For their sake he remembered his covenant, and because of his great love he relented.

You are merciful and forgiving, although we have rebelled against you.

Listen to us, O God; look at us and see the trouble we are in and the suffering of the city that bears your name. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done right.

For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on anyone I wish; I will take pity on anyone I wish."

And he also wanted to reveal his abundant glory, which was poured out on us who are the objects of his mercy, those of us whom he has prepared to receive his glory.

Let us praise God for his glorious grace, for the free gift he gave us in his dear Son!

For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven. How great is the grace of God,

But God's mercy is so abundant, and his love for us is so great,

In our union with Christ Jesus he raised us up with him to rule with him in the heavenly world.
