0 Psalm 55 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David. 1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not yourself from my supplication. 2 Attend to me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan, 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. 4 My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me. 6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest. 7 Behold, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah 8 I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest. 9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city. 10 Day and night they go about it upon its walls: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it. 11 Wickedness is in its midst: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets. 12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have borne it: Neither was it he who hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him: 13 But it was you, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend. 14 We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng. 15 Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. 16 As for me, I will call upon God; And YHWH will save me. 17 Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice. 18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many [that strove] with me. 19 God will hear, and answer them, Even he who abides of old, Selah [The men] who have no changes, And who fear not God. 20 He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He has profaned his covenant. 21 His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords. 22 Cast your burden upon YHWH, and he will sustain you: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved. 23 But you, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in you.
