O Lord our God, will You not judge them? For we have no strength to resist this great multitude that has come against us; and we know not what we shall do to them, but our eyes are toward You.

And call upon Me in the day of affliction; and I shall deliver you, and you shall glorify Me. Pause.

He shall call upon Me, and I will hearken to him; I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

Then I called on the name of the Lord- O Lord, deliver my soul.

Remember this Your creation; an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people have provoked Your name.

[ 2:2] And Jonah prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,

[ 2:8] When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to You into Your holy temple.

O Lord, remember me, and visit me, and vindicate me before them that persecute me. Do not bear long with them; know how I have met with reproach for Your sake, from those who nullify Your words.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly; he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.

And in Your mercy You will destroy my enemies, and will destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am Your servant.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works;

And they cried [with] a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"
