Psalms  


55 : 1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
55 : 2 Give heed to me and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and am surely distracted,
55 : 3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the pressure of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me And in anger they bear a grudge against me.
55 : 4 My heart is in anguish within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
55 : 5 Fear and trembling come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me.
55 : 6 I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
55 : 7 Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.
55 : 8 I would hasten to my place of refuge From the stormy wind and tempest.
55 : 9 Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
55 : 10 Day and night they go around her upon her walls, And iniquity and mischief are in her midst.
55 : 11 Destruction is in her midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets.
55 : 12 For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear it; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him.
55 : 13 But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my familiar friend;
55 : 14 We who had sweet fellowship together Walked in the house of God in the throng.
55 : 15 Let death come deceitfully upon them; Let them go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.
55 : 16 As for me, I shall call upon God, And the LORD will save me.
55 : 17 Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, And He will hear my voice.
55 : 18 He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me, For they are many who strive with me.
55 : 19 God will hear and answer them-- Even the one who sits enthroned from of old-- Selah With whom there is no change, And who do not fear God.
55 : 20 He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant.
55 : 21 His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.
55 : 22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
55 : 23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days But I will trust in You.
