¹⁹ Give attention, O Jehovah, unto me, And hearken to the voice of those contending with me.

⁹ for all of them are making us afraid, saying, `Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done;' and now, strengthen Thou my hands.

⁸ Thou dost not rejoice over me, O mine enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light to me.

¹² And, O Jehovah of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance out of them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.

²⁸ They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.

¹⁶ I -- to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.

⁴ To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

¹ To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

² Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many `are' fighting against me, O most High,

³ The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.

⁴ Hear, O our God, for we have been despised; and turn back their reproach on their own head, and give them for a spoil in a land of captivity;

⁵ and do not cover over their iniquity, and their sin from before Thee let not be blotted out, for they have provoked to anger -- over-against those building.

¹⁶ Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes, and see; and hear Thou the words of Sennacherib with which he hath sent him to reproach the living God.
