Do not remember against us our former iniquities;
let your compassion come speedily to meet us,
for we are brought very low.
Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and atone for our sins,
for your name’s sake!
Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”

But we your people, the sheep of your pasture,
will give thanks to you forever;
from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
