{\b A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications:\par\tab In thy faithfulness answer me, {\i and} in thy righteousness.
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity?\par\tab For now shall I lie down in the dust;\par\tab And thou wilt seek me diligently, but I shall not be.\par
Let them be put to shame and confounded\par\tab That seek after my soul:\par\tab Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor\par\tab That delight in my hurt.
