Psalms 55 (kjv)

To the chief Musician^H5329 on Neginoth^H5058, Maschil^H4905, A Psalm of David^H1732. Give ear^H238 to my prayer^H8605, O God^H430; and hide^H5956 not thyself from my supplication^H8467.²Attend^H7181 unto me, and hear^H6030 me: I mourn^H7300 in my complaint^H7879, and make a noise^H1949;³Because of the voice^H6963 of the enemy^H341, because^H6440 of the oppression^H6125 of the wicked^H7563: for they cast^H4131 iniquity^H205 upon me, and in wrath^H639 they hate^H7852 me.⁴My heart^H3820 is sore pained^H2342 within^H7130 me: and the terrors^H367 of death^H4194 are fallen^H5307 upon me.⁵Fearfulness^H3374 and trembling^H7461 are come^H935 upon me, and horror^H6427 hath overwhelmed^H3680 me.⁶And I said^H559, Oh that^H5414 I had wings^H83 like a dove^H3123! for then would I fly away^H5774, and be at rest^H7931.⁷Lo, then would I wander^H5074 far off^H7368, and remain^H3885 in the wilderness^H4057. Selah^H5542.⁸I would hasten^H2363 my escape^H4655 from the windy^H7307 storm^H5584 and tempest^H5591.

⁹Destroy^H1104, O Lord^H136, and divide^H6385 their tongues^H3956: for I have seen^H7200 violence^H2555 and strife^H7379 in the city^H5892.¹⁰Day^H3119 and night^H3915 they go about^H5437 it upon the walls^H2346 thereof: mischief^H205 also and sorrow^H5999 are in the midst^H7130 of it.¹¹Wickedness^H1942 is in the midst^H7130 thereof: deceit^H8496 and guile^H4820 depart^H4185 not from her streets^H7339.¹²For it was not an enemy^H341 that reproached^H2778 me; then I could have borne^H5375 it: neither was it he that hated^H8130 me that did magnify^H1431 himself against me; then I would have hid^H5641 myself from him:¹³But it was thou, a man^H582 mine equal^H6187, my guide^H441, and mine acquaintance^H3045.¹⁴We took sweet^H4985 counsel^H5475 together^H3162, and walked^H1980 unto the house^H1004 of God^H430 in company^H7285.¹⁵Let death^H4194 seize^{H5377 H3451} upon them, and let them go down^H3381 quick^H2416 into hell^H7585: for wickedness^H7451 is in their dwellings^H4033, and among^H7130 them.

¹⁶As for me, I will call^H7121 upon God^H430; and the LORD^H3068 shall save^H3467 me.¹⁷Evening^H6153, and morning^H1242, and at noon^H6672, will I pray^H7878, and cry aloud^H1993: and he shall hear^H8085 my voice^H6963.¹⁸He hath delivered^H6299 my soul^H5315 in peace^H7965 from the battle^H7128 that was against me: for there were many^H7227 with me.¹⁹God^H410 shall hear^H8085, and afflict^H6030 them, even he that abideth^H3427 of old^H6924. Selah^H5542. Because they have no changes^H2487, therefore they fear^H3372 not God^H430.²⁰He hath put forth^H7971 his hands^H3027 against such as be at peace^H7965 with him: he hath broken^H2490 his covenant^H1285.²¹The words of his mouth^H6310 were smoother^H2505 than butter^H4260, but war^H7128 was in his heart^H3820: his words^H1697 were softer^H7401 than oil^H8081, yet were they drawn swords^H6609.²²Cast^H7993 thy burden^H3053 upon the LORD^H3068, and he shall sustain^H3557 thee: he shall never^H5769 suffer^H5414 the righteous^H6662 to be moved^H4131.²³But thou, O God^H430, shalt bring them down^H3381 into the pit^H875 of destruction^H7845: bloody^H1818 and deceitful^H4820 men^H582 shall not live out half^H2673 their days^H3117; but I will trust^H982 in thee.
