1
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication!
2
Attend to me, and answer me; I am overcome by my trouble. I am distraught
3
by the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring trouble upon me, and in anger they cherish enmity against me.
4
My heart is in anguish within me, the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5
Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.
