Hearken, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.

Attend to me, and hearken to me: I was grieved in my meditation, and troubled;

because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.

My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.

Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.

And I said, O that I had wings as those of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gain saying in the city.

Day and night he shall go round about it upon its walls: iniquity and sorrow and unrighteousness are in the midst of it;

For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if one who hated me had spoken vauntingly against me, I would have hid myself from him.

Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into Hades, for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them.

I cried to God, and the Lord hearkened to me.

Evening, and morning, and at noon I will declare and make known my wants: and he shall hear my voice.

He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw nigh to me: for they were with me in many cases.

God shall hear, and bring them low, even he that has existed from eternity. Pause. For they suffer no reverse, and therefore they have not feared God.
