Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea;
hear me and answer me.
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught...
My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death assail me.
Fear and trembling have beset me;
horror has overwhelmed me...
But I call to God,
and the Lord saves me.
Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice. Psalm 55
