{\b {\i A Psalm} of David.}\par\par\tab Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call:\par\tab My rock, be not thou deaf unto me;\par\tab Lest, if thou be silent unto me,\par\tab I become like them that go down into the pit.
I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: {\i now} will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.
