give thou attention to me, and hear thou me. I am sorrowful in mine exercising;
The prayer of David. Lord, hear thou my rightfulness; behold thou my prayer. Perceive thou with ears my prayer; not made in guileful lips.
For I was still, my bones waxed eld; while I cried all day.
I am made a wretch, and I am bowed down till into the end; all day I entered sorrowful.
For thou art God, my strength; why hast thou put me aback, and why go I sorrowful, while the enemy tormenteth me?
To victory, the psalm of David. God, hear thou my prayer, when I beseech; deliver thou my soul from dread of the enemy.
Therefore God heard; and he per-ceived the voice of my beseeching.
I was mindful of God, and I delighted, and I was exercised; and my spirit failed.
as the young of a swallow, so I shall cry; I shall bethink as a culver. Mine eyes beholding on high, be made feeble. Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me;
All we shall roar as bears, and we shall wail thinking as culvers; we abided doom, and none there is; we abided health, and it is made far from us.
Thou heardest my voice; turn thou not away thine ear from my sobbing and cries.
