1. Deliver me, O Creator, from all distress,
My plight does not trouble You, though strange my tongue,

2. And grant me the salvation of Jonah and life,
O Near One though without place,

3. And answer, O Answerer, the call of the wronged,
A stranger made lowly and humiliated,

4. True of promise, these are my prayers,
Fulfill the promise and protect me with care.
