And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people had become bitter, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. Neginoth. A Psalm of David.] i0 par Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have enlarged me in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

The cords of death have surrounded me, and the floods of the wicked made me afraid.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears.

For He has not despised nor detested the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He hidden His face from him; but when he cried out to Him, He heard.

To You who hears prayer, all flesh comes.

i1 [A Song of Ascents.] i0 par In my distress I have cried out unto Jehovah, and He heard me.

i1 [Maschil of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave.] i0 par I cry out unto Jehovah with my voice; with my voice unto Jehovah I make my supplication.

When my spirit was faint within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have hidden a snare for me.

And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. And His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who had the power to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,

Do not consider your handmaid for a daughter of worthlessness, for out of the abundance of my anxiety and vexation I have spoken until now.

The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death have confronted me.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears.

From the ends of the earth I cry out to You when my heart is faint; lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.

For great is Your mercy toward me, and You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

i1 [A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician. Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.] i0 par O Jehovah the God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You.

For my soul is full of evil, and my life draws near to Sheol.

free among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, and who have been cut off from Your hand.

Your wrath has leaned upon me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah

The bands of death have encompassed me, and the distress of Sheol has fallen upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

for You will not leave My soul in Sheol; nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

Sheol from below is excited over you, to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, all the chief of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

For You will not leave My soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard, and delivered him out of all his troubles.

To You who hears prayer, all flesh comes.
