First Sunday of Advent

.

Look upon me, have pity on me,

for I am alone and afflicted.

Relieve the troubles of my heart;

bring me out of my distress.

Put an end to my affliction and suffering;

take away all my sins.

See how many are my enemies,

see how fiercely they hate me.

Preserve my life and rescue me;

do not let me be disgraced,

for I trust in you.

Let honesty and virtue preserve me;

I wait for you, O LORD.

Psalms 25:16-21
