Psalm 55:2

American Standard Version (1901)

Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

See the chapter Copy

Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.

But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. [Selah

Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
