1. LISTEN TO my prayer, O God, and hide not Yourself from my supplication!
2. Attend to me and answer me; I am restless and distraught in my complaint and must moan
3. [And I am distracted] at the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression and threats of the wicked; for they would cast trouble upon me, and in wrath they persecute me.
4. My heart is grievously pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5. Fear and trembling have come upon me; horror and fright have overwhelmed me.
6. And I say, Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
