As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.

May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.

May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

A prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.

Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.

Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.

In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me.

O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.

For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are God.

Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.

I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever.

For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.

But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.

For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.

I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.

You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.

Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah
