save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
Lord, O gracious God,
the magnalia Dei reveals Your loving-kindness.
I pray that my tears and my weeping are the result of Your mercy.
Evil stands no chance with You as our Father and Redeemer.
O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge;
save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,
rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
(Psalms 6:4b, 7:1-2, 9:1)
