¹ GIVE ear to my prayer, O Elohiym; and hide not yourself from my supplication.

² Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

³ 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.

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

⁷ Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Celah.

⁸ I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

⁹ Destroy, O Adonai, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰ Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

¹¹ Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

¹² 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:

¹³ But it was you, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.

¹⁴ We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of Elohiym in company.

¹⁵ Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into She'ol: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

¹⁶ As for me, I will call upon Elohiym; and Yahuah shall save me.

¹⁷ Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

¹⁸ He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

¹⁹ El shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abides of old. Celah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not Elohiym.

²⁰ He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.

²¹ 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.

²² Cast your burden upon Yahuah, and he shall sustain you: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

²³ But you, O Elohiym, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in you.
