(Psa 55:1) Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
(Psa 55:2) Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
(Psa 55:3) 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.
(Psa 55:4) My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
(Psa 55:5) Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
(Psa 55:6) And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! {for then} would I fly away, and be at rest.
(Psa 55:7) Lo, {then} would I wander far off, {and} remain in the wilderness. Selah.
(Psa 55:8) I would hasten my escape from the windy storm {and} tempest.
(Psa 55:9) Destroy, O Lord, {and} divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
(Psa 55:10) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow {are} in the midst of it.
(Psa 55:11) Wickedness {is} in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
(Psa 55:12) 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:
(Psa 55:13) But {it was} thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
(Psa 55:14) We took sweet counsel together, {and} walked unto the house of God in company.
(Psa 55:15) Let death seize upon them, {and} let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness {is} in their dwellings, {and} among them.
(Psa 55:16) As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
(Psa 55:17) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
(Psa 55:18) He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle {that was} against me: for there were many with me.
(Psa 55:19) God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
(Psa 55:20) He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
(Psa 55:21) {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.
(Psa 55:22) Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
(Psa 55:23) 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.
