1<\/sup>Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and despise not my supplication.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Be attentive to me, and heed me. I have been grieved in my training, and I have been disturbed<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>at the voice of the adversary and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have diverted iniquities toward me, and they have been harassing me with rage.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>My heart has become disturbed within me, and the dread of death has fallen over me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Fear and trembling have overwhelmed me, and darkness has buried me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>And I said, “Who will give me wings like the dove, so that I may fly away and take rest?”<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Behold, I have fled far away, and I linger in solitude.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>I waited for him who saved me from a weak-minded spirit and from a tempest.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Cast them down, O Lord, and divide their tongues. For I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Day and night, iniquity will surround it upon its walls, and hardship is in its midst,<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>with injustice. And usury and deceit have not fallen away from its streets.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>For if my enemy had spoken evil about me, certainly, I would have sustained it. And if he who hated me had been speaking great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Truly, you are a man of one mind: my leader and my acquaintance,<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>who took sweet food together with me. In the house of God, we walked side-by-side.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Let death come upon them, and let them descend alive into Hellfire. For there is wickedness in their dwellings, in their midst.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>But I have cried out to God, and the Lord will save me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>Evening and morning and midday, I will discourse and announce, and he will heed my voice.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>He will redeem my soul in peace from those who draw near to me. For, among the many, they were with me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>God will hear, and He who is before time will humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>He has stretched forth his hand in retribution. They have contaminated his covenant.<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>They were divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart has drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and they are arrows.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>Cast your cares upon the Lord, and he will nurture you. He will not allow the just to be tossed about forever.<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>Truly, O God, you will lead them away into the well of death. Bloody and deceitful men will not divide their days in half. But I will hope in you, O Lord.<\/span> <\/p>\n
