¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,

²¹ He `is' thy praise, and He `is' thy God, who hath done with thee these great and fearful `things' which thine eyes have seen:

¹ By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

¹ A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.

¹⁴ Heal me, O Jehovah, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, for my praise `art' Thou.

² My strength and song is JAH, And He is become my salvation: This `is' my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I exalt Him.

²⁸ My God Thou `art', and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.

¹⁴ I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain myself, As a travailing woman I cry out, I desolate and swallow up together.

²² Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not far from me,

²³ Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
