Lent // Week 1 // Feb. 18-24

Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;

my eye wastes away from grief, O LORD, my soul and body also,

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing;

my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.

I have passed out of mind like one who is dead

I have become like a broken vessel.

But I trust in you, O LORD; I trust in you, O LORD;

But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God." "You are my God."

Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.

Let your face shine upon your servant; save me
