¹⁴ I’m desperate, Lord! I throw myself upon you, for you alone are my God!
¹⁵ My life, my every moment, my destiny—it’s all in your hands.
So I know you can deliver me
from those who persecute me relentlessly.
¹⁶ Smile on me, your servant.
Let your undying love and glorious grace
save me from all this gloom.

Psalm 31:14-16
