צַּר צָּר

Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.

Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.

Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
