Psalm 55 - To the chief Musician on
Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my prayer, O God; and
hide not thyself from my supplication.

Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn
in my complaint, and make a noise;

Because of the voice of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the

wicked: for they cast iniquity
upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

My heart is sore pained within me: and
the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon
me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

And I said, Oh that I
had wings like a dove!

for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

Lo, then would I wander far off,
and remain in the wilderness.

Selah.

I would hasten my escape from
the windy storm and tempest.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide
their tongues: for I have seen

violence and strife in the city.

Day and night they go about it upon
the walls thereof: mischief also

and sorrow are in the midst of it.

Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit
and guile depart not from her streets.

For it was not an enemy that reproached
me; then I could have borne it:

neither was it he that hated me that
did magnify himself against me; then

I would have hid myself from him:

But it was thou, a man mine equal,
my guide, and mine acquaintance.

We took sweet counsel together, and
walked unto the house of God in company.

Let death seize upon them, and let them
go down quick into hell: for wickedness

is in their dwellings, and among them.

As for me, I will call upon
God; and the Lord shall save me.

Evening, and morning, and at
noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:

and he shall hear my voice.

He hath delivered my soul in peace
from the battle that was against

me: for there were many with me.

God shall hear, and afflict them,
even he that abideth of old.

Selah.

Because they have no changes,
therefore they fear not God.

He hath put forth his hands
against such as be at peace with

him: he hath broken his covenant.

The words of his mouth were smoother
than butter, but war was in his

heart: his words were softer than
oil, yet were they drawn swords.

upon the Lord, and he shall
sustain thee: he shall never

suffer the righteous to be moved.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down
into the pit of destruction: bloody and

deceitful men shall not live out half
their days; but I will trust in thee.
