But as for me, I will pray to you, LORD; answer me, God, at a time you choose. Answer me because of your great love, because you keep your promise to save.

Answer me, LORD, in the goodness of your constant love; in your great compassion turn to me!

I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live.

Send your light and your truth; may they lead me and bring me back to Zion, your sacred hill, and to your Temple, where you live.

He will answer from heaven and save me; he will defeat my oppressors. God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.

May he rule forever in your presence, O God; protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.

Love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will embrace.

In his life on earth Jesus made his prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to God, who could save him from death. Because he was humble and devoted, God heard him.
