Reproach has broken My heart, and I am faint; and I waited for one to show pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

But I am poor and in pain; O God, Your salvation shall set me on high.

But I am poor and needy, come quickly to me, O God; You are my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, do not wait any longer.

I am like a wonder to many, but You are my strong tower.

And even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not leave me until I declare Your arm to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.

I remember God and am troubled; I meditate and my spirit faints. Selah.

You seized the watches of my eyes; I am troubled and I cannot speak.

I am Jehovah your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

A Prayer of David O Jehovah, bow down Your ear, answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Guard my soul, for I am godly; O You, my God, save Your servant who trusts in You.

I am counted with those who go down to the Pit; I have been like a feeble man,

You have taken ones knowing me away from me; You have made me a hateful thing to them; I am shut up, I will not go out.

I am afflicted and dying from childhood; I suffer Your terrors; I am distracted.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert.

I watch and am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.

In return for my love, they are my enemies; but I am in prayer.

For I am poor and needy, and my heart is pierced within me.

As a shadow when it stretches out, I am gone; I am shaken off like the locust.

O Jehovah, truly I am Your servant now; I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.

I am an alien in the earth; hide not Your Commandments from me.
