1A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear <FI>to<Fi> my voice when I call to Thee.
1Of understanding for David, A prayer when he was in the cave.
2My prayer is prepared--incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands--the evening present.
2I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
3Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
3In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:
4Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
4When my spirit failed me, then thou knewest my paths. In this way wherein I walked, they have hidden a snare for me.
5The righteous doth beat me <FI>in<Fi> kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer <FI>is<Fi> about their vexations.
5I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.
6Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
6I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
7As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul.
7Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
8But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, <FI>are<Fi> mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.
8Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.
