1-2. Listen to this prayer of mine, God;pay attention to what I’m asking.Answer me—you’re famous for your answers!Do what’s right for me.But don’t, please don’t, haul me into court;not a person alive would be acquitted there.
11-12. Keep up your reputation, God—give me life!In your justice, get me out of this trouble!In your great love, vanquish my enemies;make a clean sweep of those who harass me.And why? Because I’m your servant.
