Psalm 55
55.1
(55: 1) To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. Song of David. (55: 2) O God! listen to my prayer, And do not hide from my supplications!
55.2
(55: 3) Listen to me, and answer me! I wander here and there in my sorrow and I get agitated,
55.3
(55: 4) Because of the voice of the enemy and the oppression of the wicked; For they bring disaster upon me, and pursue me with anger.
55.4
(55: 5) My heart trembles within me, and the terrors of death surprise me;
55.5
(55: 6) Fear and dread assail me, and the thrill envelops me.
55.6
(55: 7) I say: Oh! if I had the wings of the dove, I would fly away, and I would find rest;
55.7
(55: 8) Behold, I would flee very far, I would sojourn in the wilderness; -Pause.
55.8
(55: 9) I would escape in haste, Faster than the rushing wind, than the storm.
55.9
(55:10) Reduce to nothing, Lord, divide their tongues! For I see violence and strife in the city;

55.10
(55:11) They circled around the walls day and night; Iniquity and malice are in its midst;
55.11
(55:12) Wickedness is in the midst of it, and deceit and deceit never quit its places.
55.12
(55:13) It is not an enemy that offends me, I would endure it; It is not my adversary who rises against me, I would hide from him.
55.13
(55:14) It is you, whom I considered my equal, You, my confidant and my friend!
55.14
(55:15) Together we lived in sweet intimacy, We went with the crowd to the house of God!
55.15
(55:16) Death surprise them, Let them go down alive into hell! For wickedness is in their abode, in the midst of them.
55.16
(55:17) And I cry to God, and the Lord will save me.
55.17
(55:18) In the evening, in the morning, and at noon, I sigh and I moan, and he will hear my voice.
55.18
(55:19) He will deliver me from their approach and restore peace to me, for there are many against me.
55.19
(55:20) God will hear and humble them, who sits on his throne from all eternity; -Pause. For there is no change in them, neither do they fear God.
55.20
(55:21) He lays his hand on those who were at peace with him, he violates his covenant;
55.21
(55:22) Her mouth is sweeter than cream, But war is in her heart; His words are smoother than oil, But they are drawn swords.
55.22
(55:23) Commit your lot to the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous falter.
55.23
(55:24) And you, O God! you will bring them down to the bottom of the pit; Men of blood and deceit Will not reach half their life. It is in you that I trust.
