PSALMS
- I water my couch with my tears.
- Mine eye is consumed because of grief;
- It waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
- Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
- For the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
- The Lord hath heard my supplication;
- The Lord will receive my prayer.
- Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:
- Let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Shiggaion of David
Which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the words of
Cush the Benjamite
- O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust:
- Save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
- Lest he tear my soul like a lion,
- Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
- O Lord my God, if I have done this;
- If there be iniquity in my hands;
- If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
- (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
- Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it;
- Yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,
