1. A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.
2. O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
3. Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.
4. For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
