To the Chief Musician. David’s. To call to Remembrance. Be pleased O God, to rescue me, O Yahweh, to help me—make haste.
Speedily answer me, O Yahweh, My spirit faileth,—Do not hide thy face from me, or I shall be made like unto them who go down into the pit.
O God, be not far from me, O my God, to help me, make haste!
A Melody of David. To bring to Remembrance. O Yahweh, do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me;
Oh draw near unto my soul—redeem it, Because of mine enemies, ransom me.
