| 55:1 |
{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.} Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
|
| 55:2 |
Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud,
|
| 55:3 |
Because of the voice of the enemy; because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
|
| 55:4 |
My heart is writhing within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
|
| 55:5 |
Fear and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
|
| 55:6 |
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest;
|
| 55:7 |
Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah;
|
| 55:8 |
I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.
|
| 55:9 |
Swallow [them] up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
|
| 55:10 |
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.
|
| 55:11 |
Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.
|
| 55:12 |
For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me -- then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified [himself] against me -- then would I have hidden myself from him;
|
| 55:13 |
But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. ...
|
| 55:14 |
We who held sweet intercourse together. To the house of God we walked amid the throng.
|
| 55:15 |
Let death seize upon them, let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwellings, in their midst.
|
| 55:16 |
As for me, unto God will I call; and Jehovah will save me.
|
| 55:17 |
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray and moan aloud; and he will hear my voice.
|
| 55:18 |
He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.
|
| 55:19 |
God will hear, and afflict them: he that is seated of old, (Selah) ... because there is no change in them, and they fear not God.
|
| 55:20 |
He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
|
| 55:21 |
Smooth were the milky [words] of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
|
| 55:22 |
Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and *he* will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
|
| 55:23 |
And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.
