⁶ Attend unto my cry; For I am brought very low: Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are stronger than I.

⁸ Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low.

⁶ Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

¹ Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

³³ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth;

⁷ Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

³ For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

²³ Who remembered us in our low estate; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever;

³ For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.

³ He will send from heaven, and save me, `When' he that would swallow me up reproacheth; Selah God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth.

⁴ My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

²⁴ Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

²⁵ For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.

²⁶ Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness' sake. Psalm 45 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. `A Psalm' of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.

¹⁹ But mine enemies are lively, `and' are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹ Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

¹⁴ After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
