Why are you so far away from me?
Why do you seem not to hear when I call?
When I cry till I can almost not speak
When my heart is so full of pain and sorrow that I wish I were dead
O Lord, hear me when I call
Answer when I cry
For you are my God and no other
For the sake of your name do not forsake me
Turn to me and heal me
Turn and hear your servant
O God
From of old, you are God and there is none like you
For the sake of your name, turn and relent
Do not look upon our sins
But show us your mercy we implore
