1 Give ear to my prayer, O God,And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
2 Attend to me, and hear me;I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,
3 Because of the voice of the enemy,Because of the oppression of the wicked;For they bring down trouble upon me,And in wrath they hate me.
4 My heart is severely pained within me,And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me,And horror has overwhelmed me.
6 So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!I would fly away and be at rest.
