Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me.
I say unto God, `Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou dost strive `with' me.
Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,
Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me `with' joy.
For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. -- A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.
Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.
