PS-55:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] ofDavid. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. PS-55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; PS-55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. PS-55:4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. PS-55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. PS-55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest. PS-55:7 Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. Selah. PS-55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest. PS-55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. PS-55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it. PS-55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. PS-55:12 For [it was] not an 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: PS-55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. PS-55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house of God in company. PS-55:15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them. PS-55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. PS-55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. PS-55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me: for there were many with me. PS-55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. PS-55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. PS-55:21 [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn swords. PS-55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. PS-55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
