3 And self my it is disturbed exceedingly (and you *Qk) O Yahweh until when?

all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?

4 Return! O Yahweh rescue! life my save me on account of covenant loyalty your.

Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping,

9 He has heard Yahweh supplication my Yahweh prayer my he will accept.
