Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah
Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chatter; I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward; O LORD, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.
