PSALM LV.
1 David in his prayer complaineth of his fearful
case: 9 He prayeth against his enemies,
of whose wickedness and treachery he complaineth:
16 He comforteth himself in God's
preservation of him, and the confusion of his
enemies.
¶2; To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
Maschil, A Psalm of David.
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and
hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Attend to 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 severely pained within
me: and the terrors of death have fallen
upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have
come upon me, and horror hath note overwhelmed
me.
6 And I said, O that I had wings like
a dove! for then I would fly away, and
be at rest.
7 Lo, then I would wander far off, and
remain in the wilderness. Selah.
8 I would hasten my escape from the
windy storm and tempest.
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their
tongues: for I have seen violence and
strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon
its walls: mischief also and sorrow are
in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst of it:
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
magnified himself against me; then I
would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was thou, note a man my equal,
my guide, and my acquaintance.
14 noteWe took sweet counsel together,
and walked to the house of God in company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let
them go down quick into note hell: for wickedness
is in their dwellings, and among
them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God:
and the Lord will save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at
noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he
will hear my voice.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace
from the battle that was against me: for
there were many with me.
19 God will hear and afflict them,
even he that abideth of old. Selah. noteBecause
they have no changes, therefore
they fear not God.
20 He hath put forth his hands against
such as are at peace with him: note he hath
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 noteCast thy note burden upon the Lord,
and he will sustain thee: he will never
suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 But thou, O God, wilt bring them
down into the pit of destruction: note bloody
and deceitful men note shall not live out half
their days; but I will trust in thee.
