Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
at the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
A psalm of David against Goliath. Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.
The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:
The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.
For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?
