DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

{To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. read more They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. show less

Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
