Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave.
For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;
For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.
Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:
But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
A psalm of David against Goliath. Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.
Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold, now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning I shall not be.
Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
