⁶ Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

⁸ Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, For we are in desperate need.

⁶ Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

¹ > Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn't go out of deceitful lips.

³⁷ No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

³³ Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

⁷ Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, So that I don't become like those who go down into the pit.

³ For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

²³ Who remembered us in our low estate; For his loving kindness endures forever;

³ For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, Not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

³ He will send from heaven, and save me, He rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.

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

²⁴ Why do you hide your face, And forget our affliction and our oppression?

²⁵ For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body cleaves to the earth.

²⁶ Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.

¹⁹ But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹ > Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

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