Psalm 55:1

Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication.

Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth.

O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.

Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.

For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.
