Psalms 55
55:1

Give ear238 to my prayer,8605 O Elohim;430 and hide5956 not thyself from my supplication.8467

55:2

Attend7181 unto me, and hear6030 me: I mourn7300 in my complaint,7879 and make a noise;1949

55:3

Because of the voice6963 of the enemy,341 because6440 of the oppression6125 of the wicked:7563 for they cast4131 iniquity205 upon me, and in wrath639 they hate7852 me.

55:4

My heart3820 is sore pained2342 within7130 me: and the terrors367 of death4194 are fallen5307 upon me.

55:5

Fearfulness3374 and trembling7461 are come935 upon me, and horror6427 hath overwhelmed3680 me.

55:6

And I said,559 Oh that5414 I had wings83 like a dove!3123 for then would I fly away,5774 and be at rest.7931

55:7

Lo, then would I wander5074 far off,7368 and remain3885 in the wilderness.4057 Selah.5542

55:8

I would hasten2363 my escape4655 from the windy7307 storm5584 and tempest.5591

55:9

Destroy,1104 O Yahweh,3068 and divide6385 their tongues:3956 for I have seen7200 violence2555 and strife7379 in the city.5892

55:10

Day3119 and night3915 they go about5437 it upon the walls2346 thereof: mischief205 also and sorrow5999 are in the midst7130 of it.

55:11

Wickedness1942 is in the midst7130 thereof: deceit8496 and guile4820 depart4185 not from her streets.7339

55:12

For it was not an enemy341 that reproached2778 me; then I could have borne5375 it: neither was it he that hated8130 me that did magnify1431 himself against me; then I would have hid5641 myself from him:

55:13

But it was thou, a man582 mine equal,6187 my guide,441 and mine acquaintance.3045

55:14

We took sweet4985 counsel5475 together,3162 and walked1980 unto the house1004 of Elohim430 in company.7285

55:15

Let death4194 seize5377 upon them, and let them go down3381 quick2416 into the grave:7585 for wickedness7451 is in their dwellings,4033 and among7130 them.

55:16

As for me, I will call7121 upon Elohim;430 and Yahweh3068 shall save3467 me.

55:17

Evening,6153 and morning,1242 and at noon,6672 will I pray,7878 and cry aloud:1993 and he shall hear8085 my voice.6963

55:18

He hath delivered6299 my soul5315 in peace7965 from the battle7128 that was against me: for there were many7227 with me.

55:19

El410 shall hear,8085 and afflict6030 them, even he that abideth3427 of old.6924 Selah.5542 Because they have no changes,2487 therefore they fear3372 not Elohim.430

55:20

He hath put forth7971 his hands3027 against such as be at peace7965 with him: he hath broken2490 his covenant.1285

55:21

The words of his mouth6310 were smoother2505 than butter,4260 but war7128 was in his heart:3820 his words1697 were softer7401 than oil,8081 yet were they drawn swords.6609

55:22

Cast7993 thy burden3053 upon Yahweh,3068 and he shall sustain3557 thee: he shall never3808 suffer5414 the righteous6662 to be moved.4131

55:23

But thou, O Elohim,430 shalt bring them down3381 into the pit875 of destruction:7845 bloody1818 and deceitful4820 men582 shall not live out half2673 their days;3117 but I will trust982 in thee.
