For the music director, a psalm of David.
Be still before Adonai and wait patiently for Him. Do not fret over one prospering in his way, over one carrying out wicked schemes.
Give ear, my God, and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolation and the city called by Your name. We do not present our supplications before You because of our own righteousness, but because of Your great compassions.
Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to the sound of my supplications.
Depart from evil and do good. Seek shalom and pursue it.
Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call on Him all my days.
