{\b A Prayer of David.}\par\par\tab Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry;\par\tab Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
{\b For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David.}\par\par\tab Give ear to my prayer, O God;\par\tab And hide not thyself from my supplication.
O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who delight to fear thy name; and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.\par\par\tab Now I was cupbearer to the king.
