1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
