TO YOU HAVE I CALLED

O, my God, desire of my heart
To You I call in distress
Make (salvation) for my soul,
My only One
And have pity, and help (me)
My God, my Rock


O, my God, desire of my heart
To You we call at all times
Draw away those who hate us
With the evil of those who hate You
And we shall praise Your Name
with sweetness
