1 Give ear, O God, to my prayer, and do not hide yourself from my plea.
2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my lamenting and I groan,
3 because of the voice of an enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked, because they bring down evil on me, and in anger they hold a grudge against me.
4 My heart trembles within me, and deathly terrors fall on me.
5 Fear and trembling come on me, and horror overwhelms me.
