Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray (5:2)

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up (5:3)

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee (5:4)

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face (5:8)

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue (5:9)

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee (5:10)

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee (5:11)

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield (5:12)

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver (7:2)

O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands (7:3)

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: (7:4)

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors (7:13)

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood (7:14)

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made (7:15)

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord (26:6)

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works (26:7)

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth (26:8)

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men (26:9)

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes (26:10)

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me (26:11)

My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord (26:12)

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer (61:1)

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God (69:3)
