Psalms 55
Give
ear
to
my
prayer,
O
God;
and
hide
not
thyself
from
my
supplication.
2 Attend
unto
me,
and
hear
me:
I
mourn
in
my
complaint,
and
a
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
a
pained
within
me:
and
the
terrors
of
death
are
fallen
upon
me.
5 Fearfulness
and
trembling
are
come
upon
me,
and
horror
hath
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.
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
a
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
a
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
thou,
a
man
mine
equal,
my
guide,
and
mine
acquaintance.
14 We
took
sweet
counsel
together,
and
walked
unto
the
house
of
God
in
a
company.
15 Let
death
seize
upon
them,
and
let
them
go
down
quick
into
a
hell:
for
wickedness
is
in
their
dwellings,
and
among
them.
16 As
for
me,
I
will
call
upon
God;
and
the
Lord
shall
save
me.
17 Evening,
and
morning,
and
at
noon,
will
I
a
pray,
and
cry
aloud:
and
he
shall
b
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
shall
hear,
and
a
afflict
them,
even
he
that
abideth
of
old.
Selah.
Because
they
have
no
b
changes,
therefore
they
fear
not
God.
20 He
hath
put
forth
his
hands
against
such
as
be
at
peace
with
him:
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
a
Cast
thy
burden
upon
the
Lord,
and
he
shall
sustain
thee:
he
shall
never
suffer
the
b
righteous
to
be
moved.
23 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.
