1 For the music director, on stringed instruments, a contemplative song of David.
2 Give ear, O God, to my prayer and do not ignore my plea for help.
3 Listen to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint and moan—
4 because of the voice of the enemy, because of the pressure of the wicked. For they thrust trouble on me, and in anger bear a grudge against me.
5 My heart shudders within me and the terrors of death sweep over me.
