Psalms 55:1-23

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)
on Neginoth
<05058>_,
Maschil
<04905> (8688)_,
[A Psalm] of David
<01732>.>>
Give ear
<0238> (8685)
to my prayer
<08605>_,
O God
<0430>_;
and hide
<05956> (8691)
not thyself from my supplication
<08467>_.
{chief...: or, overseer} {Maschil: or, of instruction}
Attend
<07181> (8685)
unto me, and hear
<06030> (8798)
me: I mourn
<07300> (8686)
in my complaint
<07879>_,
and make a noise
<01949> (8686)_;
Because of the voice
<06963>
of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
because
<06440>
of the oppression
<06125>
of the wicked
<07563>_:
for they cast
<04131> (8686)
iniquity
<0205>
upon me, and in wrath
<0639>
they hate
<07852> (8799)
me.
My heart
<03820>
is sore pained
<02342> (8799)
within
<07130>
me: and the terrors
<0367>
of death
<04194>
are fallen
<05307> (8804)
upon me.
Fearfulness
<03374>
and trembling
<07461>
are come
<0935> (8799)
upon me, and horror
<06427>
hath overwhelmed
<03680> (8762)
me. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
Oh that
<05414> (8799)
I had wings
<083>
like a dove
<03123>_!
[for then] would I fly away
<05774> (8799)_,
and be at rest
<07931> (8799)_.
Lo, [then] would I wander
<05074> (8800)
far off
<07368> (8686)_,
[and] remain
<03885> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
Selah
<05542>_.
I would hasten
<02363> (8686)
my escape
<04655>
from the windy
<07307>
storm
<05584> (8801)
[and] tempest
<05591>_.
Destroy
<01104> (8761)_,
O Lord
<0136>_,
[and] divide
<06385> (8761)
their tongues
<03956>_:
for I have seen
<07200> (8804)
violence
<02555>
and strife
<07379>
in the city
<05892>_.
Day
<03119>
and night
<03915>
they go about
<05437> (8779)
it upon the walls
<02346>
thereof: mischief
<0205>
also and sorrow
<05999>
[are] in the midst
<07130>
of it.
Wickedness
<01942>
[is] in the midst
<07130>
thereof: deceit
<08496>
and guile
<04820>
depart
<04185> (8686)
not from her streets
<07339>_.
For [it was] not an enemy
<0341> (8802)
[that] reproached
<02778> (8762)
me; then I could have borne
<05375> (8799)
[it]: neither [was it] he that hated
<08130> (8764)
me [that] did magnify
<01431> (8689)
[himself] against me; then I would have hid
<05641> (8735)
myself from him:
But [it was] thou, a man
<0582>
mine equal
<06187>_,
my guide
<0441>_,
and mine acquaintance
<03045> (8794)_.
{mine equal: Heb. according to my rank}
We took sweet
<04985> (8686)
counsel
<05475>
together
<03162>_,
[and] walked
<01980> (8762)
unto the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
in company
<07285>_.
{We...: Heb. Who sweetened counsel}
Let death
<04194>
seize
<05377> (8686) (8675) <03451>
upon them, [and] let them go down
<03381> (8799)
quick
<02416>
into hell
<07585>_:
for wickedness
<07451>
[is] in their dwellings
<04033>_,
[and] among
<07130>
them. {hell: or, the grave}
As for me, I will call
<07121> (8799)
upon God
<0430>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
shall save
<03467> (8686)
me.
Evening
<06153>_,
and morning
<01242>_,
and at noon
<06672>_,
will I pray
<07878> (8799)_,
and cry aloud
<01993> (8799)_:
and he shall hear
<08085> (8799)
my voice
<06963>_.
He hath delivered
<06299> (8804)
my soul
<05315>
in peace
<07965>
from the battle
<07128>
[that was] against me: for there were many
<07227>
with me.
God
<0410>
shall hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and afflict
<06030> (8799)
them, even he that abideth
<03427> (8802)
of old
<06924>_.
Selah
<05542>_.
Because they have no changes
<02487>_,
therefore they fear
<03372> (8804)
not God
<0430>_.
{Because...: or, With whom also there be no changes, yet they}
He hath put forth
<07971> (8804)
his hands
<03027>
against such as be at peace
<07965>
with him: he hath broken
<02490> (8765)
his covenant
<01285>_.
{broken: Heb. profaned}
[The words] of his mouth
<06310>
were smoother
<02505> (8804)
than butter
<04260>_,
but war
<07128>
[was] in his heart
<03820>_:
his words
<01697>
were softer
<07401> (8804)
than oil
<08081>_,
yet [were] they drawn swords
<06609>_.
Cast
<07993> (8685)
thy burden
<03053>
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
and he shall sustain
<03557> (8770)
thee: he shall never
<05769>
suffer
<05414> (8799)
the righteous
<06662>
to be moved
<04131> (8800)_.
{burden: or, gift}
But thou, O God
<0430>_,
shalt bring them down
<03381> (8686)
into the pit
<0875>
of destruction
<07845>_:
bloody
<01818>
and deceitful
<04820>
men
<0582>
shall not live out half
<02673> (8799)
their days
<03117>_;
but I will trust
<0982> (8799)
in thee. {bloody...: Heb. men of bloods and deceit} {shall...: Heb. shall not half their days}
