Psalm 55

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 on Neginoth,5058 Maschil,4905 A Psalm of David.1732 Give ear238 to my prayer,8605 O God;430 and hide5956 not yourself from my supplication.8467

2 Attend7181 to me, and hear6030 me: I mourn7300 in my complaint,7879 and make a noise;1949

3 Because of the voice6963 of the enemy,341 because6440 of the oppression6125 of the wicked:7563 for they cast4131 iniquity205 on me, and in wrath639 they hate7852 me.

4 My heart3820 is sore pained2342 within7130 me: and the terrors367 of death4194 are fallen5307 on me.

5 Fearfulness3374 and trembling7460 are come935 on me, and horror6427 has overwhelmed3680 me.

6 And I said,559 Oh that I had wings83 like a dove!3123 for then would I fly5774 away, and be at rest.7931

7 See,2009 then would I wander5074 far7368 off, and remain3885 in the wilderness.4057 Selah.5542

8 I would hasten2363 my escape4655 from the windy7307 storm5584 and tempest.5591

9 Destroy,1104 O Lord,136 and divide6385 their tongues:3956 for I have seen7200 violence2555 and strife7379 in the city.5892

10 Day3119 and night3915 they go5437 about5437 it on the walls2346 thereof: mischief205 also and sorrow5999 are in the middle7130 of it.

11 Wickedness1942 is in the middle7130 thereof: deceit8496 and guile4820 depart4185 not from her streets.7339

12 For it was not an enemy341 that reproached2778 me; then I could have borne5375 it: neither3808 was it he that hated8130 me that did magnify1431 himself against5921 me; then I would have hid5641 myself from him:

13 But it was you, a man582 my equal,6187 my guide,441 and my acquaintance.3045

14 We took sweet4985 counsel5475 together,3162 and walked1980 to the house1004 of God430 in company.7285

15 Let death4194 seize3451 on them, and let them go3381 down3381 quick2416 into hell:7585 for wickedness7451 is in their dwellings,4033 and among7130 them.

16 As for me, I will call7121 on God;430 and the LORD3068 shall save3467 me.

17 Evening,6153 and morning,1242 and at noon,6672 will I pray,7878 and cry1993 aloud:1993 and he shall hear8085 my voice.6963

18 He has delivered6299 my soul5315 in peace7965 from the battle7128 that was against me: for there were many7227 with me.

19 God410 shall hear,8085 and afflict6031 them, even he that stays3427 of old.6924 Selah.5542 Because834 they have no369 changes,2487 therefore they fear3372 not God.430

20 He has put7971 forth7971 his hands3027 against such as be at peace7965 with him: he has broken2490 his covenant.1285

21 The words of his mouth6310 were smoother2505 than butter,4260 but war7128 was in his heart:3820 his words1697 were softer7401 than oil,8081 yet were they drawn6609 swords.6609

22 Cast7993 your burden3053 on the LORD,3068 and he shall sustain3557 you: he shall never3808 5769 suffer5414 the righteous6662 to be moved.4131

23 But you, O God,430 shall bring3381 them down3381 into the pit875 of destruction:7845 bloody1818 and deceitful4820 men582 shall not live out half2673 their days;3117 but I will trust982 in you.

Psalms

Psalm 55

1 GIVE ear to my prayer, O God; and reject not my supplication.

2 Hear me and answer me; return to my cry and incline to me,

3 Because of mine enemies, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they have devised iniquity against me, and reproached me.

4 My heart is greatly pained within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and the shadow of death has overwhelmed me.

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away and be at rest.

7 Lo, then I would fly far off and dwell in the wilderness.

8 I would wait for him that will save me from the windy storm and the tempest.

9 Destroy, O LORD, and render useless their tongues; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go about it, around its walls; injustice and mischief are in the midst of it.

11 Wickedness is in the midst of it; deceit and guile depart not from its streets.

12 For it was not mine enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it; neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him;

13 But it was you, a man mine equal, my kinsman, and my friend.

14 We ate a meal together in the house of God, and we walked in harmony.

15 Bring death upon them; bury them alive in the grave, because there is evil among them.

16 As for me, I will call upon God; and God shall save me.

17 At evening and in the morning and at noon will I pray and cry aloud; and he shall hear my voice.

18 Deliver my soul from those who have been too wise for me, from those who have opposed me continuously.

19 God, even the Eternal one, shall hear and humble them. With them also there are no changes; therefore they fear not God.

20 They have put forth their hands against their neighbours, they have broken his covenant.

21 They were afraid because of the anger in his countenance and the wrath in his heart; his words were smoother than butter, yet were they sharp like the point of a spear.

22 Cast your worries upon the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never suffer the righteous to fear want.

23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction; bloody and deceitful men shall not live out their days; but I will trust in thee.
