Hear my voice, O Jehovah: I will call, and pity me and answer me.
Saying to God, Thou wilt not condemn me; make known to me for what thou wilt contend with me.
How long shall I put counsels in my soul, grief in my heart the day? how long shall mine enemy rise up against me?
Thou didst turn my wailing to dancing to me: thou didst loose my sackcloth, and thou wilt gird me with gladness;
For my life was finished in sorrow, and my years in sighing: my strength was weak in mine iniquity, and my bones fell away.
To the overseer upon the stringed instruments; chanting of David. In my calling, answer me, O God of my justice: in straits thou didst enlarge me; compassionate me and hear my prayer.
Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God: for to thee will I pray.
