Behold, I have loved Your commandments, O Lord; revive me in Your mercy.

Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] from my enemies, You that lift me up from the gates of death:

Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

lest at any time my enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exalt if ever I should be moved.

Look upon my enemies; for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with unjust hatred.

And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of My people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their taskmasters; for I know their affliction.

And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and Girgashites and Hivites and Jebusites.

And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping Your covenant and Your mercy, let not all this trouble seem little in Your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria even to this day.

RHECHS. Behold, O Lord, and see for whom You have gathered thus. Shall the women eat the fruit of their womb? The cook has made a gathering: shall the infants nursing at the breasts be slain? Will You slay the priest and prophet in the sanctuary of the Lord?

Remember, O Lord, what has happened to us: behold, and look on our reproach.

I will meditate on Your statutes; I will not forget Your words.

You have made me wiser than my enemies [in] Your commandment; for it is mine forever.

My soul is continually in Your hands; and I have not forgotten Your law.

I am young and despised; [yet] I have not forgotten Your statutes.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant; for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
