I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.
DALETH My soul is joined to the dust: O give me life, in keeping with your word.
Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.
Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.
To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.
