Prayer of David. Hear justice, O Jehovah, attend to my outcry, give ear to my prayer, not in lips of deceit.
For thou the God of my strength: why didst thou reject me? wherefore darkened shall I go about for the oppression of the enemy?
To the overseer; chanting to David. Hear, O God, my voice in my complaint: thou wilt guard my life from the fear of the enemy.
I will remember God and I shall be disquieted: I shall be depressed and my spirit will languish. Silence.
As the twittering swallow so shall I chirp: I shall murmur as the dove: mine eyes languished for height: O Jehovah, oppression is to me; be surety for me.
We shall growl as bears all of us, and murmuring we shall murmur as doves: we shall wait for judgment, and none; for salvation, it was far from us.
Thou heardest my voice: thou wilt not hide thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
