1 For the leader. On stringed instruments. A maskil of David.
2 Listen, God, to my prayer;do not hide from my pleading;
3 hear me and give answer.I rock with grief; I groan
4 at the uproar of the enemy,the clamor of the wicked.They heap trouble upon me,savagely accuse me.
5 My heart pounds within me;death’s terrors fall upon me.
6 Fear and trembling overwhelm me;shuddering sweeps over me.
