Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, O LORD, according to Your lovingkindness.

Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,

Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; [Lest] those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.

And the LORD said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people who [are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

"So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

" Now therefore, our God, The great, the mighty, and awesome God, Who keeps covenant and mercy: Do not let all the trouble seem small before You That has come upon us, Our kings and our princes, Our priests and our prophets, Our fathers and on all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.

" See, O LORD, and consider! To whom have You done this? Should the women eat their offspring, The children they have cuddled? Should the priest and prophet be slain In the sanctuary of the Lord?

Remember, O LORD, what has come upon us; Look, and behold our reproach!

I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.

You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they [are] ever with me.

My life [is] continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget Your law.

I [am] small and despised, [Yet] I do not forget Your precepts.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek Your servant, For I do not forget Your commandments.
