Текст песни
Give ear to my prayer O God
And hide not Yourself from my plea for mercy
Attend to me and answer me
I am restless in my complaint and I moan
Because of the noise of the enemy
Because of the oppression of the wicked
For they drop trouble upon me
And in anger they bear a grudge against me
My heart is in anguish within me
The terrors of death have fallen upon me
Fear and trembling come upon me
And horror overwhelms me
And I say: Oh that I had wings like a dove
I would fly away and be at rest
Yes I would wander far away
I would lodge in the wilderness
I would hurry to find a shelter
From the raging wind and tempest
But I call to God
And the Lord will save me
Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaint and moan
And He hears my voice
He redeems my soul in safety
From the battle that I wage
For many are arrayed against me
Destroy O Lord divide their tongues
For I see violence and strife in the city
Day and night they go around it
On its walls
And iniquity and trouble are within it
Ruin is in its midst
Oppression and fraud
Do not depart from its marketplace
But I call to God
And the Lord will save me
Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaint and moan
And He hears my voice
He redeems my soul in safety
From the battle that I wage
For many are arrayed against me
For it is not an enemy who taunts me
Then I could bear it
It is not an adversary who deals insolently with me
Then I could hide from him
But it is you a man my equal
My companion my familiar friend
We used to take sweet counsel together
Within God's house we walked in the throng
Let death steal over them
