1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

8Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

4For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
