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.
5. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.
6. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7. Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness.
