“ Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.”
“Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.”
For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a well-written song by David. Listen, O God, to my prayer! Do not ignore my appeal for mercy!
Pay attention to me and answer me! I am so upset and distressed, I am beside myself,
because of what the enemy says, and because of how the wicked pressure me, for they hurl trouble down upon me and angrily attack me.
My heart beats violently within me; the horrors of death overcome me.
