PSALM CXLII. 1 WITH my voice I cry aloud unto JEHOVAH; With my voice, unto JEHOVAH do I make my supplication. 2 I pour out before Him my complaint; I declare before Him my distress, 3 When my spirit within me is faint. Truly, Thou knowest my path! In the way, wherein I walk, Hath a snare been secretly laid for me. There is no one who enquireth after me. 5 I cry aloud unto Thee, O JEHOVAH, 6 Attend unto my cry, For I am exceedingly exhausted. The righteous shall encompass me, When Thou shalt have dealt kindly by me. PSALM CXLIII. 1 O JEHOVAH, hear my prayer; Listen unto my supplication. In Thy faithfulness answer me, even in Thy benevolence; 2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For before Thee, shall no man living be found righteous. 3 Truly, mine enemy pursueth me, He thrusteth me alive to the ground; He maketh me to inhabit dark places, as those long dead. 4 My spirit within me is faint; My heart within me is confounded. 5 I call to mind the days of old, I meditate upon all Thy doings; I muse upon the works of Thy hands. 6 I spread forth my hands towards Thee; 8 7 "Their bones shall be scattered at the mouth "As when one heweth and cleaveth wood ur Truly, mine eyes are upon Thee, O JEF into the pit. 9 Guard me from the snare which they ness; And from the traps of the workers .. 10 Let the wicked, all together, fall; should walk; Let me ever pass over them.

My lofty tower, My and my deliverer; shield, and He with whom I take refuge- whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood! God, I will sing a new song unto Thee, With the ten-stringed lute will I hymn unto Thee— 10 Unto Him who giveth salvation to kings Who rescueth David, His servant, from the destroying sword. Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh lies, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood! 12 That our sons may be like plants, Well-grown in their youth That our daughters may be like the corner-pillars, 13 That our granaries may be full That they may supply all kinds of provision 8 7 Quickly answer me, O JEHOVAH !
