² O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

¹ To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.' -- A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

² Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

³ Jehovah, `at' morning Thou hearest my voice, `At' morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

³ Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

¹ To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, `to' my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.

² Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my meditation, and make a noise,

² Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

⁷ Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down `to' the pit.
