I need your help, O LORD my God;
do not ignore my plea.
For I am restless and distraught;
O hear and answer me.
If I had wings, I'd fly away
into the wilderness
to find a quiet, sheltered place
where I could be at rest.
Long as I live and troubles rise,
my God, on you I'll call.
You hold the righteous in your arms,
you will not let them fall.
I cast my cares upon you, LORD,
you give me strength anew.
You see me through each anxious day;
my God, I trust in you.
