اِصْغَ يَا اَللهُ إِلَى صَلاَتِي، وَلاَ تَتَغَاضَ عَنْ تَضَرُّعِي. اسْتَمِعْ لِي وَاسْتَجِبْ لِي. أَتَحَيَّرُ فِي كُرْبَتِي وَأَضْطَرِبُ مِنْ صَوْتِ الْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ قِبَلِ ظُلْمِ الشِّرِّيرِ. لأَنَّهُمْ يُحِيلُونَ عَلَيَّ إِثْمًا، وَبِغَضَبٍ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي.
(مز٥٥ :١ -٣ )

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger.

(Psalms 55:1-3, NIV)
