Psalms 55
Config
1 [(0)] For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David:
2 [(1)] Listen, God, to my prayer! Don’t hide yourself from my plea!
3 [(2)] Pay attention to me, and answer me! I am panic-stricken as I make my complaint, I shudder
4 [(3)] at how the enemy shouts, at how the wicked oppress; for they keep heaping trouble on me and angrily tormenting me.
5 [(4)] My heart within me is pounding in anguish, the terrors of death press down on me,
6 [(5)] fear and trembling overwhelm me, horror covers me.
7 [(6)] I said, “I wish I had wings like a dove! Then I could fly away and be at rest.
8 [(7)] Yes, I would flee to a place far off, I would stay in the desert. (Selah)
9 [(8)] I would quickly find me a shelter from the raging wind and storm.”
10 [(9)] Confuse, Adonai, confound their speech! For I see violence and fighting in the city.
11 [(10)] Day and night they go about its walls; within are malice and mischief.
12 [(11)] Ruin is rife within it, oppression and fraud never leave its streets.
13 [(12)] For it was not an enemy who insulted me; if it had been, I could have borne it. It was not my adversary who treated me with scorn; if it had been, I could have hidden myself.
14 [(13)] But it was you, a man of my own kind, my companion, whom I knew well.
15 [(14)] We used to share our hearts with each other; in the house of God we walked with the crowd.
16 [(15)] May he put death on them; let them go down alive to Sh’ol; for evil is in their homes and also in their hearts.
17 [(16)] But I will call on God, and ADONAI will save me.
18 [(17)] Evening, morning and noon I complain and moan; but he hears my voice.
19 [(18)] He redeems me and gives me peace, so that no one can come near me. For there were many who fought me.
20 [(19)] God will hear and will humble them, yes, he who has sat on his throne from the start. (Selah) For they never change, and they don’t fear God.
21 [(20)] [My companion] attacked those who were at peace with him; he broke his solemn word.
22 [(21)] What he said sounded smoother than butter, but his heart was at war. His words seemed more soothing than oil, but in fact they were sharp swords.
23 [(22)] Unload your burden on ADONAI, and he will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
24 [(23)] But you will bring them down, God, into the deepest pit. Those men, so bloodthirsty and treacherous, will not live out half their days. But for my part, [ADONAI,] I put my trust in you.
