GIVE ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015287">2</a>. Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015288">3</a>. Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015289">4</a>. My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015290">5</a>. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015291">6</a>. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!  for then would I fly away, and be at rest.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015292">7</a>. Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness.  Selah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015293">8</a>. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015294">9</a>. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015295">10</a>. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015296">11</a>. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015297">12</a>. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015298">13</a>. But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015299">14</a>. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015300">15</a>. Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015301">16</a>. As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015302">17</a>. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015303">18</a>. He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015304">19</a>. God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old.  Selah.  Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015305">20</a>. He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015306">21</a>. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015307">22</a>. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015308">23</a>. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.</li>
