To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. -- A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.

And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.

Then the LORD thundered in the heavens, and the Most High sounded aloud, calling for hail stones and flashes of fire.

Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call on You;Let the wicked (godless) be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

I am exhausted from calling for help. My throat is parched. My eyes are strained from looking for God.

For Thou, Lord, art good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests;Samuel also was among those calling on His name.They called to Yahweh and He answered them.

Near is Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth.
