Day 11 : Morning Prayer

55 — Exaudi, Deus

1 Hear my prayer, O God, *
and hide not yourself from my petition.
2 Give heed to me, and hear me, *
for I am troubled in my prayer and am tormented,
3 Because of the cry of the enemy, and oppression by the
ungodly; *
for they are of a mind to do me great harm, so maliciously
are they set against me.
4 My heart is disquieted within me, *
and the fear of death has fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, *
and a horrible dread has overwhelmed me.
6 And I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove, *
for then would I fly away and be at rest.
7 Indeed, then I would get away to a far off place *
and make my dwelling in the wilderness.
