| 55:1 |
[For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David]. Give ear to my prayer, O God; And do not hide Thyself 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 |
And 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 Thou, O God, wilt 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 Thee.
