15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,

for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;

free me from my anguish.

18 Look upon my affliction and my distress

and take away all my sins.

19 See how my enemies have increased

and how fiercely they hate

me!

20 Guard my life and rescue me;

let me not be put to shame,

for I take refuge in you.

21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,

because my hope is in you.

22 Redeem Israel, O God,

from all their troubles!

Plant trust, harvest victory! (Verses 15-22)

· David turns his prayer to specific requests.

· These things obviously troubled David and please note: he mentions them to the Lord because He KNOWS the Lord can do something about it!
