{\b A Prayer of David.}\par\par\tab Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry;\par\tab Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away\par\tab Through my groaning all the day long.

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off?\par\tab Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

I remember God, and am disquieted:\par\tab I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. {\i Selah
Like a swallow {\i or} a crane, so did I chatter;\par\tab I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail {\i with looking} upward:\par\tab O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.
We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
